The provincial government is defending its redesign of Ontario’s licence plates.
The tag line “Yours to Discover” will be replaced with “A Place to Grow” on the plates of passenger vehicles and “Open For Business” on commercial vehicles beginning next February.
Minister of Government and Consumer Services Bill Walker says it was time.
“The province’s licence plate was last redesigned in 1982. After 37 years, it’s time for a refresh.”
He adds it will allow the government to find some savings by going to new plates.
Walker promises the new plates will also be more durable than existing ones which have been susceptible to peeling.
“Ontario will guarantee that your license plates won’t peel or flake for the useful life of the plate, saving you time, hassle, and most importantly, money.”
Distribution of the new plates will begin next February.
