About this plate
Two alternative prefixes in one paragraph, hence one series with an alternation. Alberta and Yukon both route veterans' eligibility through the Royal Canadian Legion by regulation; the NWT regulation states no eligibility test here, leaving it to reg. 8's "prescribed eligibility requirements" hook in Act s. 40(b).
