From the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources:
Fishing and Hunting
Residents of Ontario are required to have an Outdoors Card in addition to a license to be able to fish & hunt in the province.  Both the license and the Outdoors Card may be purchased from most sporting goods stores, tourist outfitters, hunting & fishing lodges as well as the Ministry of Natural Resources district offices.  Canadian residents outside of Ontario must buy the Outdoors Card along with the license, with the exception of a one-day license, in which case an Outdoors Card is not issued.  Non-residents of Canada are required to purchase the license only, at a slightly higher cost.  For more information, please contact the Ministry of Natural Resources at 1-800-667-1940 or email them at mnr.nric@mnr.gov.on.ca. The Huronia District Office (in Midhurst, just outside of Barrie) can be contacted at (705) 725-7500.
