Specialty License Plate Program Expansion Could Include Golf

The Province and ICBC are seeking your input for potential expansion of the specialty licence plate program in British Columbia. An expanded program would raise funds and awareness for non-profit organizations and charities.

Government wants to gauge interest for expansion of the Specialty License Program to include non-profit organizations across the province

Proceeds from specialty license plate purchases would go to the sponsoring organization.

British Columbia Golf, in conjunction with the Allied Golf Association, would like to see golf take advantage of this with proceeds being used to encourage kids to get more physically active through golf and to promote B.C. as a destination for tourist golfers.

Your Support And Involvement Is Key

The Province and ICBC have posted an online questionnaire where B.C. golfers can express their support for this initiative.

If golf is successful in getting a specialty plate, it would join the BC Parks and Veterans commemorative plates which were initiated in 2017. The BC parks licence plate costs an initial fee of $50 and a recurring annual fee of $40.

Kris Jonasson, CEO of British Columbia Golf, sees the potential of this program:

"It is likely that the organizations selected to be part of the program will be those where the most support is shown, so getting as many B.C. golfers as possible to complete the 2-minute questionnaire is critical. Responses will be collected and reported anonymously."
