“Support our Troops” license plates now available in Sask.

REGINA – “Support Our Troops” license plates now available in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan residents will now be able to honour and support military members and their families with a new license plate depicting silhouettes of different branches of the Canadian military.

“Our government is offering the Support Our Troops license plate to show respect, and help aid military families who serve our country,” Provincial Military Liaison and Wood River MLA D.F. (Yogi) Huyghebaert said.

“We are grateful for the service of these brave men and women, and want to acknowledge the sacrifices they make for our freedom.”

Proceeds from the new plate program will be used to offer financial support to Canadian Forces Morale and Welfare Services (CFMWS).

“I’m so pleased to see government is now offering a Support Our Troops licence plate,” said Stacey Cherry, the mother of Cpl. Brandon Cherry of the Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry, based out of CFB Edmonton.

“The fact that profits from the plates are put toward programs that will benefit military members, like my son Brandon, is wonderful and I am so grateful to be part of this process. I will be proud to display one of these plates as a symbol of the gratitude and respect I have for those serving our country, and for those who have lost their lives protecting it.”

Customers can order the plates for $55 at a motor license issuer and for each plate sold the CFMWS will receive $30.
