Alberta Introduces New Licence Plates
Alberta is getting new licence plates. The UCP announced a 'tournament-style' online vote to select a new design, replacing the current one from 1984.
The new plate will feature the words 'Strong and Free', adopted as the provincial motto in 1980. This phrase serves as a nod to Canada's national anthem and Alberta's position within a united Canada.
- The current plate design was introduced in 1984.
- 'Wild Rose Country' was on plates from 1974, but its removal was proposed in 2014 and later reversed.
The new motto will 'serve as a nod to Canada's national anthem and Alberta's position as a strong and sovereign province within a united Canada.'
The UCP notes that 'Strong and Free' is also part of their slogan and references their Strong and Free Club for top supporters.
