Overview

• Residents can vote online from Oct. 15 to Nov. 5 in a tournament that narrows eight concepts to a final winner.
• The winning concept is set for announcement during the fall legislative session, with plates slated for late 2026 availability.
• Design options highlight provincial landmarks and core industries under a Strong and Free theme.
• All proposed plates use reflective materials to improve readability and meet visibility, legibility and anti-counterfeiting standards.
• Motorists may switch early for $28 or receive the new plate at registration renewal at no extra cost, with existing plates remaining valid if in good condition; the transition is estimated at $25,000–$50,000 within the current budget.
