Travel Information Centres
Ontario’s Travel Information Centres provide tourist information, brochures and public restroom facilities to visitors and travelers. These friendly, convenient and informative centres are operated by the Ministry of Tourism and Recreation.

Call or drop in to a Travel Information Centre for brochures, special-interest publications, maps, and directions.

Call 1-800-ONTARIO (1-800-668-2746) to verify current

Weather Conditions
Due to the large amount of geography that Ontario covers, temperatures will vary tremendously from region to region, and even within the specific regions. Ontario’s weather is generally considered continental, with the lowest temperatures being recorded in January and the highest in July.

Northern Ontario in usually colder than Southern Ontario and temperatures are measured in degrees Celsius (°C) with the Fahrenheit (°F) equivalent sometimes added

To convert from Celsius to Fahrenheit, multiply the °C by 9, divide by 5 and add 32.

Currency
While some establishments and outfitters will accept American currency, it is recommended that visitors to Ontario use Canadian funds. Currency exchange offices offer up-to-date exchange rates and are conveniently located at the U.S./Ontario border and in most Ontario Travel Information Centres.

Good exchange rates can also be found at the currency exchange desks at international airports (Toronto, Ottawa), banks, trust companies and credit unions.

Customs Requirements
If you are a permanent resident of the United States, you won’t need a passport or a visa to enter Canada. You will, however, need proof of citizenship such as a birth certificate, citizenship certificate, or landing card.

Fishing Licenses and Regulations
If you are a non-resident of Canada, you will require a license to fish in Ontario.

Residents of Ontario, and Canadian residents living outside of the province, also need an Outdoors Card before they can buy their fishing license. Applications for the Outdoors Card and licenses are available at most sporting goods stores, bait and tackle outlets, tourist outfitters, fishing lodges, and at the district offices of the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources.

License fees are comparable to those in most of Canada and the United States. For more detailed information, pick up a copy of the Recreational Fishing Regulations Summary available at most Ontario Travel Information Centres.
