Fun Fact - Ontario Green Plates are Available in French

Not everyone knows this, but if you are one of the 550,000 Francophone Ontarians you can get your licence plates in the Province of Ontario in French with our French slogan "TANT A DECOUVRIR" instead of "YOURS TO DISCOVER".

Kind of cool right?

Well if you are a current or potential Francophone green vehicle owner, you will be happy to know that Green Plates are also available in French. I had never really thought about whether these existed or not, but yesterday in Richmond Hill I saw a Plug in Prius with a Green Plate that looked kind of odd.

Instead of starting out with "GV" for "Green Vehicle" the plate started with "VE" for "Véhicule écologique" and the slogan space was also occupied by "Véhicule écologique" instead of "Green Vehicle"

I looked it up and couldn't find any official information on the plates so now you know.
