## About this plate

START IS PRIMARY AND TO THE DAY. Province of British Columbia news release 2017ENV0020-000696 (19 March 2017), verbatim: "The three licence plate designs - a Kermode bear found only in British Columbia, the snow-capped Purcell Mountains, and a stunning view from Porteau Cove overlooking Howe Sound - were unveiled by Environment Minister Mary Polak and Transportation and Infrastructure Minister Todd Stone on Jan. 18, 2017, in Vancouver" and "became available for purchase at Autoplan broker offices on Jan. 29, 2017". Unveiling and FIRST ISSUE are eight days apart and this file records the issue date, not the unveiling.
