MNR name returns

Ontario’s Ministry of Natural Resources and Forestry (MNRF) has reverted back to the name most anglers and hunters know best — the Ministry of Natural Resources (MNR). This was prompted by changes made to the Executive Council of Ontario in June, which created several new ministries and adjustments to ministry portfolios.

The MNR will continue to be led by Minister Graydon Smith and will continue to fulfill its mandate.

Forestry remains in the MNR portfolio but is led by the new Associate Minister of Forestry Nolan Quinn, Member of Provincial Parliament for Stormont-Dundas-South Glengarry.
