ODSP and Fishing Licence

[Beverly]

If your on ODSP, do you need to purchase a fishing licence or are you
deemed one?

[Dave M]

as far as i recall, all disabled persons do not need to have one. You are exempt. 
*this may have changed?*

[Andreas Novotny]

Unless you are disabled with an attendant, you will need the Disabled
Parking Permit to be exempt. The link below also has a link to the
Disabled Parking Permit application. Note, if you are medically
eligible for the permit, it is free from the Ministry of Transport.

Unless things have changed, you need to buy a fishing license unless you have the MTO disability parking permit.

Hi,   Ok, but what if someone challenges you on this? How do you prove you're disabled, especially if you have hidden disabilities? Bonnie

[Bonnie Briggs]

Hi Andreas,   That's fine, but what if you don't drive and don't have a car?

[Bill Higgs]

or more to the point, even if this is true, which minisitry of the environment officer, would even know about it????

 

none I bet

How do you prove you're disabled, especially if you have hidden disabilities?

In Ontario you must have the disabled parking permit. It is free,
forms available online. If you don't qualify for the disabled parking
permit you must have a fishing licence or face stiff fines. Best bet
is to find the dates when anyone can fish free in Ontario. There are
one or two days a year.

[Andreas Novotny]

The disabled parking permit is issued to the disabled person, not the
car. This change -- it used to be a disabled licence plate affixed to
one particular car -- was made so that carless people could get the
permit to use when appropriate, such as fishing.

The permit is now issued to the individual and not the
vehicle, so that it is portable. You can still qualify if you
have no car.

[corrinna]

I just saw that fishing is license free from July 3-11th.
Go enjoy if you can!

[Mister2u]

There seem to be two topics going here
1. Fishing licences
2.(OT)Parking Permits

[abrowne]

That's assuming a person can GET TO where there is fishing
without a car.  Here, it is IMPOSSIBLE to get most places
without a car.

No, it is the same topic. In order for a disabled person in Ontario
to fish *without a paid fishing licence*, they must have a free
disabled parking permit (aka Accessible Parking Permit.) You do not
need a car or even a driver's licence to get the disabled parking
permit. However if you want to access many of the "disabled
discounts" available through the province, such as reduced rates at
provincial parks and free fishing, you will need to show your
disabled parking permit.

The problem with this is that not all disabilities qualify one for the parking permits. For example, psychiatric disabilities. They should have a better way, such as showing your ODSP stub to the enforcement officer or getting a permit anyway but not paying for it upon showing proof of being on ODSP.   Uppity

[corrinna]

Your most welcome, and I hope you can make the most of it.
( I could hear the Jefferson's theme song when reading the last part of your
email lol )
Something about fish don't fry in the kitchen? Beans and a grill, sumthin

One topic.
Licenses and permits have their similarities. What's the difference anyhow?
You register with the government or some other authority, (usually) fork
over some money and then you have THEIR permission to do something.
Same thing. It's one topic.

Then this is a totally different issue from ODSP. You are wanting a
fishing licence free because you are poor, not because you are on
ODSP. It would make more sense to show a tax return than to show
proof of ODSP so that all poor people could fish free.

You have to have a disabled parking permit to be able to fish without having to get a license. ODSP has nothing to do with it. You can get disabled permits with a note from your Doctor even if you do not drive. I believe you can get a wallet size version or will soon be able to. You get the disabled permit through the Dept. of Motor Vehicles (where you apply for a license or take your driving test). I don't know if you have to keep on buying your outdoors card. I never have.
