CANADA'S CENTENNIAL 
(1867-1967)
July 1st, 1967 marked the 100th Anniversary of Confederation, when Ontario, Quebec New Brunswick and Nova Scotia joined to form Canada.  The remaining provinces joined at later dates.  Here is a look at what each province issued the year of Canada's Centennial.  Some provinces had slogan on their plates marking the event.  Others issued commemorative front ("booster") plates.

Quebec commemorated both Expo 67 and Confederation with this unusual pair.
Expo 67 was the World's Fair that took place in Montreal that year.
The Expo67 was the front plate.  Note the serial number along the bottom.

These provinces issued their normal plates:


The three maritime provinces issued stickers for '67, but no mention of Confederation.

The two territories also chose to continue using their normal plates:


Each of the Territories had nice plates for '67

Special Boosters:

New Brunswick and Manitoba officially issued booster plates for the Centennial.  Since New Brunswick had no front plate, a booster of the same color was issued.  Because Manitoba, on the other hand, already had a front plate, motorists were allowed to remove it for that year and put the booster on.  However the following year, they had to replace the booster with the normal front plate.


Both these plates feature the Centennial Leaf emblem.
The white on red plate on the right is from New Brunswick.
