## About this plate

THE THIRTEEN YEARS WITHOUT A BEAR, AND WHY THEY HAPPENED SOMEWHERE ELSE. Reported: rectangular plates with black screened characters from July 2012, adopted because the Northwest Territories decided to update ITS version of the bear plate and Nunavut chose a new design rather than follow.

## Separators

Six digits in two groups of three, as reported. Separator glyph unstated; separator-only class per § 2.8.
