It\u2019s been 5 years since the partnership with ICBC and BC Parks started in January 2017 with the launch of the BC Parks Licence Plate Program! There is no doubt that the support of British Columbians who have purchased these plates have made this program a resounding success. BC Parks is very grateful for your support and would like you to join in celebrating the achievements of the past five years as we look forward to the years ahead.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Over 300,000 BC Parks plates have been sold, generating more than $18 million toward protecting and preserving our spectacular provincial parks and protected areas. The initial cost of the plate is $50 with $20 going to BC Parks. Renewal costs $40 with 100% going to BC Parks enhancement projects.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Sales have fluctuated somewhat for the top seller. By the end of December 2021, sales of Porteau Cove overlooking Howe Sound were 94,325; the Kermode bear at 97,120; and the top winner in sales is the Purcell Mountains of the interior region at 115,879.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
