Individuals currently serving with the Canadian Armed Forces, RCMP and other military services are now eligible to display a veteran licence plate on their vehicle in Manitoba.

The Crown-owned Manitoba Public Insurance, the province and the Royal Canadian Legion have made regulatory amendments to allow more veterans to display a specialized licence plate on their vehicle.

Previously, the definition of veteran included a three-year honourable service requirement for the Canadian Armed Forces members.

The new changes means that current and former members of the armed forces, RCMP, peace officers in special duty areas, as well as individuals who completed military training and were honourably discharged qualify as a veteran.
