A History of British Columbia License Plates

To commemorate the centennial of the first provincially issued licence plates, we here at BCpl8s.ca are pleased to announce the forthcoming publication of "Tales from the Back Bumper: A Century of British Columbia History As Seen Through the Province's Licence Plates", which is tentativley set to be released by Heritage House in 2013.
Please enjoy your time exploring this site and I am always happy to hear from people wanting to talk plates and share stories for the book!
BCpl8s.ca contains well over 4,000 images (a number that increases on a regular basis), in addition to a growing body of historical writing and data on approximately 175 pages.

BRITISH COLUMBIA MOTOR VEHICLE ACT [RSBC 1996] CHAPTER 318
12 (1) Each number plate must bear the licence number of the motor vehicle or trailer for which it is issued, and shall be of a material and design determined by the Insurance Corporation of British Columbia, and is and remains the property of the corporation.
