Import of Bait

It is illegal to bring any live fish, crayfish, live leeches or salamanders into Ontario for use as bait.

No Release of Bait

Anglers must not release any live bait or dump the contents of a bait bucket including the water, into any waters. The bait bucket water should be disposed of on land, well away from the water’s edge.

NEW PASSPORT REGULATIONS FOR ALL PERSONS ARRIVING IN THE U.S. OR RE-ENTERING THE U.S., FROM CANADA, BY AIR.

New U.S. passport regulations mandated by the Western Hemisphere Travel Initiative (WHTI) took effect January 23, 2007, and now require all U.S. and Canadian citizens who cross the U.S. and Canadian border by air to have a valid passport to establish their identity and citizenship.

NEW PASSPORT REGULATIONS FOR PERSONS ARRIVING IN THE U.S. OR RE-ENTERING THE US, FROM CANADA, BY LAND AND SEA/LAKE.

Presently, the regulations governing U.S. and Canadian citizens traveling to, or returning to the U.S. from Canada, by land and sea/lake, remain unchanged; all U.S. and Canadian Citizens crossing the U.S. and Canadian border by land and sea must be prepared to show either a passport, or other proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate, and a government-issued photo-ID such as a drivers license. A driver’s license is never proof of citizenship, of course, but can serve as documentation of the bearer’s identity in support of other proof of citizenship.

For resident aliens, an original green card is proof of permanent U.S. residence and, together with a photo-ID, will also suffice.

However, proposed, as yet unspecified changes mandated by WHTI will take effect sometime between January 1, 2008 (at the earliest), and June 1, 2009 (at the latest), whereupon U.S. and Canadian citizens will be required to present either passports “or other secure documents”, yet to be designated by the U.S. State Department.
