AUTOMATED ONLINE HUNTING, TRAPPING AND ANGLING SYSTEM GOES LIVE APRIL 1

Released on March 28, 2013

Environment Minister Ken Cheveldayoff today demonstrated the new online Hunting, Trapping and Angling Licence (HAL) ordering system by purchasing his 2013-14 angling licence in Regina.

“Saskatchewan boasts some of North America’s best hunting and fishing, enjoyed by residents and guests from around the world,” Cheveldayoff said.  “We’re making it easier for people to access the necessary licenses to enjoy these sports with the introduction of the online system.  An online licensing system not only improves the experience for hunters and anglers who are contributing to our economy, but it allows the Ministry of Environment to better monitor and manage wildlife resources within the province and ensure excellent sport opportunities for generations to come.” 

“The Saskatchewan Wildlife Federation (SWF) recognizes that the new automated system transition will provide valuable opportunities in research and survey collection as well as increased enforcement and compliance measures which will be of great benefit to Saskatchewan’s wildlife resources,” SWF Executive Director Darrell Crabbe said.

On April 1 at 9 a.m., all those looking to purchase an angling licence can access the automated licensing system to establish an account and be assigned a unique HAL identification number.  They will only ever have to register once and then they will be able to purchase all future licences as they become available.

Anglers can purchase their angling licences:

  • online through their personal computer any time;
  • through private issuers, Ministry of Environment and select Provincial Park offices; or
  • by phone at 1-855-848-4773.

For this year, spring bear licences and Wildlife Habitat licences must be purchased from a local licence issuer, Ministry of Environment or select Provincial Park offices.  All remaining licences will be available online in time for the fall hunting season.

Detailed instructions for signing up for a HAL number and how to purchase a licence are available at www.gov.sk.ca/huntingandfishing.
