Although a licence isn’t needed, all other provincial angling restrictions apply, including a limit on the number and size of fish you can catch. Fishing in national parks still requires a federal licence.

Regular camping fees also still apply at provincial campgrounds.

The province says visitors should check weather conditions before heading out, in case some parks have temporary closures.
