Canadian Veteran Licence Plates
In Canada, motor vehicle licence plates are issued by the transportation department in each province and territory. They honour veterans by issuing a special type of licence plate that is available only to veterans. Between 2002 and 2005, a trend struck the licence authorities which prompted them to issue veteran licence plates. The only territory that does not have a veteran licence plate is Nunavut. A common feature of these veteran licence plate is the image of a red poppy or the word "veteran" (or both). Only veteran licence plates issued by the Northwest Territories do not have any of the features mentioned above.
