## About this plate

THE DESIGN IS IN THE REGULATION EVEN THOUGH THE SERIAL IS NOT. AR 320/2002 s. 66.1(1), verbatim: "The Registrar may issue a veterans' licence plate that includes the word 'Veteran' and bears a depiction of the integrated maple leaf and poppy logo of the Royal Canadian Legion to an individual who meets the criteria set out in this section." s. 66.1(6) restricts it to passenger-class motor vehicles, Class 2 farm vehicles, motor cycles (not off-highway vehicles) and mopeds. s. 66.1(9)-(10) let the Registrar recall the plate when eligibility lapses, and alberta.ca adds that on the veteran's death the plate "may be retained only as a memento but can no longer be used on a vehicle".
