Période

1992 - 1995. Sticker expired in February 1995.

Canada

Standard format of licence plate used in almost every province in Canada since 1957 (6"x12") and personalised according to each province or territory. Licence plates were introduced in the early days of auto mobility to register car owners and their cars, in order to regulate them as they were getting more and more numerous on the roads and also obtain money to pay for different expenses linked to car road driving.

Fonction

To inform authorities in a visible printed way about a vehicle owner and the registration of his vehicle.

Technique

First licence plates were made by hand by the owner. They consisted often of numbers put on a rubber or leather piece or painted numbers on tin. Then provinces started to issue them using different materials at first. By the 1920's most provinces were stamping plates on steel. This plate is representative of recent plates being made of aluminium. It is also usable from year to year by using an expiration sticker instead of getting a new plate each year. This system began in the 1960's and 1970's in different Canadian provinces and later for Yukon and Nunavut. This plate also has with reflective paint.
