Remember before the Vancouver 2010 Olympics when you could pay extra to get special commemorative license plates for your car, and the money went towards the games? Today the Province and ICBC launched something even better: you can now buy BC license plates with images from our provincial parks on them, and the money you pay for them goes to the Parks Enhancement Fund. It’s all part of a thing called the BC Parks Future Strategy where the government is investing $22.9 million to build a couple thousand new campsites as well as starting something called the BC Parks Foundation with a $5 million endowment.
Pictured below are the 3 designs. The first features Porteau Cove on the Sea to Sky, the second a spirit bear and the third is of the Purcell mountains in Southeastern BC. Show your pride in British Columbia’s natural beauty with a park-themed licence plate and support our provincial parks and protected areas.
Starting January 29, 2017, three new BC Parks-themed licence plates will be available for purchase from your local Autoplan broker. All net proceeds from the sale and renewals of BC Parks plates will be re-invested back into provincial parks through the Parks Enhancement Fund.
Three unique designs
Each plate depicts a scene from one of B.C.'s parks and recreation areas.
The three B.C. Parks plates will cost $50 to buy, and an additional $40 a year to renew. The funds raised from their sale will be invested into B.C. Parks to improve programs and services above the core levels funded by government. They are set to go on sale on Jan. 29, 2017 at Autoplan brokers.

My Olympic plates cost me $125, and IIRC they didn't cost me anything to renew on a yearly basis.
Let's face it, the BC gov't knows that we are willing to pay the price to be unique like everyone else. What better way to show your friends at the country club that you're a pedestrian workaday grunt then to show up in your beemer with a regular person plate.
^it wouldn't matter that you rolled in on your brand new Individualized M4 with Akrapovic exhaust and BBS rims on fresh rubber. You'd still be a peasant in their eyes with a regular plate.
Pfft, this guy doesn't even have an "N", what a loser!
