Outdoors card late

Does it work like the licenses, where you could print off the summary?
Here in Ontario, the Outdoors card is almost always your fishing license as well. As a matter of fact, when they brought them in, the idea was that you'd have all your licenses on one card, and just have your tags for big game (the other licenses you bought were a sticker you placed on the back of the card). It worked that way for several years, then the ON Lieberals decided to change things. You no longer got your licenses as stickers, but had to carry a toilet-paper roll length of plasticized paper with you for each license. They also farmed the whole process out to a U.S. company. Now, Ford has changed that process. You print off your licenses and tags, and don't need to apply your tag to the dead critter, as long as you have it with you (it does have to be clipped for the date). And, you don't have to report the animal until after the season. There are also a few other glitches in the system I won't mention not to give anyone ideas. Great conservation measures.
If I erred anywhere in this summary, it is unintentional.
I could still print off the summary but I guess in the eyes of the law having a piece of plastic makes it more legal

Just renewed mine too and noticed verbage stating that without the plastic card you were not licenced...... unlike anything else in the province you cannot print off the paper to tote around with your old card i guess for your outdoors cad. Pigeon culling will halfto wait
Here is what it says on the Outdoor Card website. https://www.ontario.ca/page/get-outdoors-card
Licence Summary
If you are waiting for your Outdoors Card to come in the mail, you can carry your Licence Summary given to you at the time of purchase to immediately go fishing or hunting. You can carry it in a paper or digital format (for example, on a smartphone).
and
you must carry your Outdoors Card when hunting or fishing, unless you have just recently purchased the card and not yet received it in the mail. In this case, you must have a copy of your Licence Summary available.

It's also not unusual for regulations to contradict each other. A very good example - in Ontario, you don't need a fishing license if you have a disabled parking permit (Exactly why, I don't know, but hey, it saves me bucks). The MNR says you have to have a copy on you, but right at the top of the permit, it says not to photocopy it. And if you have the original with you, you can't use it to park in No Parking areas near where you fish. Go figger.
If you carry your licences etc on your phone please don't expect a CO to have a bar code thingy to read it. Unless they have been upgraded I know several who have been checked and as soon as the phone comes out that end it. One was told moose hunting in NOnt we can't read those, carry on.
By the way it was the Liberals that implemented these changes to licencing before they left to rake more money from licences.

It's farkin' amazing that, in 2020, they couldn't come up with a unified provincial card that has everything on it - driver's license, health card, outdoors card, you name it. I can be sitting on my tree stand and check my E-Mail, look at files on all my computers and video chat with anyone in the world, yet if I go for an MRI (or any other test) at the General Hospital, a doctor I see at the Montfort can't access the results.
It's not the doctor. Here, we have 3 hospitals that are part of the Ottawa Hospital "group" - the General, Civic, and Riverside. The 3 others (Queensway Carleton, Montfort and Bruyère) are not part of that network. I don't know if the Pearly is still considered a hospital or if it's Long Term Care (it is for vets). You just figure that in 2020, if Dollarama can check to see if a Kootchie Doll is in stock at a store in the next province,your MRI results, no matter where it was taken, should be available to any medical facility in the World. That was one of the big phoque-ups from our provincial Libs with E-health. A billion dollars sunk and nothing to show for it.
Or do what I do and keep the whole stack, every licence and summary and every other piece that gets printed, in a ziplock and hand the whole bag to the CO. I told the one this fall"It is in the bag and if you can explain it to me I would be grateful" Blank stare ensued and the conversation continued without the CO opening the bag.
Hell, once I got my buck hung this fall I cut a tag and headed for the shed. Not rely paying attention I cut the tag and went to strap it on and noticed I had cut a unused spring turkey tag that the only difference was the title. They all look exactly the same and I am horrible about cleaning last year/seasons paperwork paperwork out of my vest which is used for turkey and deer.
Paper, you want paper, well here it is, you figure out what your bosses came up with cause the lady at the store said this is ALL you need LOL. How I long for the card and sticker days
