British Columbia Miscellaneous License Plates

This plate was issued to mark the 1977 Conference of the Canadian Council of Motor Transport Administrators (CCMTA) in Victoria. Actual BC license plates were being manufactured by Acme Signlaisation of Montreal at this time, and this particluar plate appears to be on the Saskatchewan base.
This plate was issued to mark the 1989 Conference of the American Association of Motor Vehicle Administrators (AAMVA) in Vancouver.
This plate was issued to mark the 1991 Conference of the Commercial Vehicle Safety Alliance (CVSA).
   
This oddball showed up on eBay in 2010 with the seller claiming that "WPC" stood for the 1988 "World Partnership Conference" and the "ALTA" along the side denoting an Alberta delegate. Having never heard of such a conference before, we are more inclined to think this plate was issued to an Alberta delegate to the inaugural Western Pentacostal Conference (why not?).
   

 
When I first saw this plate I enquired with the owner as to what it was, I was told that it was made to commemorate the first Lufthansa flight into Vancouver in 1983; hence the 1983 styled decal, the "LH" for Lufthansa, and the "446" for the flight number. These plates are rather plentiful from time to time on the German version of eBay.
