Increased BC Parks License Plate Sales Support More, Better Parks Programs

Sales of the BC Parks license plates continue to grow.

Between April 2023 and March 2024, more than 84,000 BC Parks license plates were bought, a 7% increase from the same period a year before.

“Everyone who has bought BC Parks license plates is supporting a more sustainable future by contributing to the protection and preservation of unique species and sensitive ecosystems, as well as supporting First Nations to share their cultures and histories,” said Tamara Davidson, Minister of Environment and Parks.

“From the mountains to the coast, we’ve worked with First Nations and community partners on a variety of grassroots projects. My recent visit with BC Parks staff has shown me first-hand the work that can be accomplished with these programs that are making an incredible impact on parks.”

The license-plate sales generated approximately $11 million in net revenue, supporting more than 250 projects and programs in parks throughout B.C., including a wide range of initiatives, such as the Student Ranger Program, wildlife inventories, partnerships with First Nations on educational programs and signs, wildfire-fuel mitigation, invasive-species management, ecosystem restoration, and educational programs for children and families.

License-plate sales have been steadily increasing since 2020.

As of March, more than 552,000 license plates have been sold, generating more than $54 million in net revenue for the program.
