Veterans' plate available for motorcycles

From Ontario News

To recognize their courage and dedication, Ontario veterans can now get a veterans' licence plate for motorcycles.

Like the veterans' passenger vehicle plate, this new motorcycle plate recognizes the commitment made by past and current veterans, including those who served during WWII and the Korean War, in peacekeeping missions, at least three or more years with the Canadian Regular Forces.

The licence plate features a red poppy with the word "veteran" and there are already more than 34,000 veteran passenger vehicle plates in Ontario.

"Our new motorcycle veteran plate is a symbolic way to recognize our veterans and show them our gratitude," said Kathleen Wynne, Ontario Minister of Transportation. "We must never forget the brave men and women who risk their lives for our freedom."

In honour of their service, Ontario veterans can get the plate free of charge. A $5.00 administration fee will be charged by the Royal Canadian Legion to verify eligibility.
