It’s going to get a little cheaper to register your car this year.

For the second year in a row the province is dropping vehicle registration fees by 10 per cent, or around 13 dollars on average, by July 1st.

As part of the 2021 provincial budget, Infrastructure Minister Ron Schuler says it’s part of a commitment that will see the fees drop another 10 per cent in 2021 to offset a previous 30 per cent increase from 2012 from the previous administration.
