The province is inviting Manitobans to vote on the design for a new provincial parks-themed licence plate.
“As we continue to enjoy our Manitoba summer, I know families across the province will be heading to one of our beautiful provincial parks for a camping trip or a day at the beach,” Premier Wab Kinew said on Monday.
“Manitobans love our parks, and so we want to hear from you on the best design to represent that pride in our parks as a new provincial licence plate.”
The application for the new plates was brought forward by the Nature Conservancy of Canada, a non-profit focused on conservation and habitat protection.
A share of sales from every plate sold will be directed to the Manitoba Provincial Park Endowment Fund through The Winnipeg Foundation, supporting ecological, safety, accessibility, and visitor experience upgrades in provincial parks.
The online survey runs until July 31, and the winning design will be made available on plates next year.
More than 208,000 specialty plates have been sold since 2011 through the province’s specialty licence plate program, raising more than $6.2 million in charitable proceeds. There are currently 19 specialty plates available through the program, which is administered by Manitoba Public Insurance.
