Q: Military veterans will need to have one of many following items of identification to fish free of charge in Ontario – Canadian Forces Identification Card (NDI 20), or Canadian Armed Forces Veteran’s Service Card (NDI 75) — however many vets by no means acquired an NDI 75 once they left the providers. Many, as an alternative maintain a CF1 card, issued by the Canadian Forces Morale & Welfare Services, which clearly identifies them, when accompanied by picture ID, as a veteran. Is the CF1 card an appropriate substitute for the NDI75?
Marc Faulkner
A: Legally, no, it isn’t. The CF1 card shouldn’t be issued by the federal authorities and could possibly be issued to people who find themselves not veterans of the armed forces.
