Youth Hunting Licence

In Prince Edward Island, youth aged 12 to 17 years-old may hunt with a Youth Hunting Licence. There is no charge for this licence, nor is the purchase of a Wildlife Conservation Fund Licence required by youth. However, all hunters, regardless of age, must hold a Hunter Safety Certificate.

Please refer to the Online Hunter Safety course for details on the steps required to take and acquire a valid Hunter Safety certificate.
