Specialty License Plate Program Expansion Could Include Golf

Government wants to gauge interest for expansion of the Specialty License Program to include non-profit organizations across the province…

The Province and ICBC are seeking your input for potential expansion of the specialty license plate program in British Columbia. An expanded program would raise funds and awareness for non-profit organizations and charities. Proceeds from specialty license plate purchases would go to the sponsoring organization.

British Columbia Golf, in conjunction with the Allied Golf Association would like to see golf take advantage of this with proceeds being used to encourage kids to get more physically active through golf and to promote B.C. as a destination for tourist golfers.

If golf is successful in getting a specialty plate, it would join the BC Parks and Veterans commemorative plates which were initiated in 2017. The BC parks license plate costs an initial fee of $50 and a recurring annual fee of $40.

Your Support And Involvement Is Key…

The Province and ICBC have posted an online questionnaire where B.C. golfers can express their support for this initiative. Click HERE to go directly to survey. 

 

Kris Jonasson, CEO of British Columbia Golf, sees the potential of this program,

British Columbia Golf, in conjunction with our partners in the Allied Golf Association have long advocated for a golf themed license plate program in BC. We believe BC golfers would welcome an opportunity to display their passion for the sport and pride in the quality of golf within the province by displaying a golf themed plate on their vehicle.  We urge all golfers to complete the survey and show support for a golf themed license plate.”

It is likely that the organizations selected to be part of the program will be those where the most support is shown, so getting as many B.C. golfers as possible to complete the 2-minute questionnaire is critical. Responses will be collected and reported anonymously.
