As the subject suggests, this is primarily of interest to Albertans, our provincial government is thinking of re-doing Alberta license plates for the first time in almost 25 years, in part because they are running out unique tags in the 3-alpha, 3-numeric format. Part of this, besides possible new colour schemes, new personalization options, and a new slogan, may be to also bring back front plates. Which I assume most 7 owners, like myself, will vehemently oppose on cosmetic and functional grounds (if I have to, I'll mount off the lower lip, so it can get curled under by the first parking block or autocross cone it encounters!). So take the government's survey, and make sure to answer the last question on front plates NO! Only 7 questions, with some write-in opportunities as well.

Another big fat waste of money.

What will the government do with this survey?

 

i voted no on the front plate

honestly they want to update the alberta lisence plate...well thats fine and dandy but in the end who is it going to end up costing...the goverment or the citizens?

 

If it cost the government, trust me, it costs the citizens.

 

yeah free and goverment...are like science and religion, they don't fit and never will be used in the same sentence

 

just curious...

how much does a personalized plate cost in alberta?

 

I think it's $194, from a quick check of the AMA website - I don't know if only AMA members get that price or if that would be the price at any Alberta Registries agent.

 

yeah for non-ama members its like $215 dollars for a custom plate

 

Thanks for posting the link. I filled it out. I definitely don't want a front plate. What a waste of money!

 

took the survey aswell.
no- for the front plate
