WINNIPEG – Manitoba says a loon design has won out in a public survey about a new specialty licence plate that pays homage to provincial parks.
The government says 62,605 people responded to the July survey.
Manitobans had five options, with a portion of the proceeds of every plate sold going to an endowment fund for park improvements.
Along with the loon on a lake, there was also a campsite at night, someone canoeing on a waterway, a replication of a map and a pure black one to represent a park at night.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada applied for the creation of a new specialty plate as a way for Manitobans to show their love for nature.
The government says the new plates will be available next year in both English and French.
This report by The Canadian Press was first published Sept. 4, 2026.
