What vehicles qualify?

All passenger vehicles such as cars, trucks, vans and farm trucks qualify for Winnipeg Jets Licence Plates. Commercial trucks, motorcycles, mopeds and all other non-passenger vehicles do not qualify.

I already own a Winnipeg Blue Bombers licence plate. Can I still purchase the new Jets plates?

Yes. Fans who own a Winnipeg Blue Bombers licence plate are still eligible to purchase the new Winnipeg Jets plates. You can even change the plates in between seasons at no extra charge. That means you can use your Blue Bombers plates during football season and your Jets plates during hockey season.

However, because the plate numbers on the front and rear of your vehicle must match at all times, you will not be allowed to use the Blue Bombers plate and the Jets plate simultaneously (i.e. you cannot have a Jets plate on the front of your vehicle and a Bombers plate on the rear).

Use them with your vehicle(s) or as a keepsake

If you are the registered owner of one or more vehicles that qualify, you can apply for Winnipeg Jets licence plates for all of them. Only one set of Jets plates will be issued per vehicle.

Customers wanting to use the plates as a souvenir keepsake can purchase them at a cost of $85.

Can the Jets plates be personalized?

No – Similar to other specialty licence plates, the Jet plates are a pre-established set of letters and numbers.

MORRIS - It's the highest position an insurance broker can fill, and Dale Rempel said he's honoured to be named president of the Insurance Brokers Association of Canada (IBAC).

"It's awesome," he said, adding he is pleased others thought of him when it came to the top job.

"It's very good, especially because of some of the past health issues I've gone through," he said.

Rempel was sidetracked by a brain tumor, but even extensive chemotherapy and other cancer treatments didn't keep him away from the business for long.

President of Rempel Insurance in Morris, he will face some big responsibilities.

The IBAC acts as the national voice for property and casualty insurance brokers and is an advocate for insurance consumers, representing their interests to the Canadian government. They are governed by a board of directors consisting of brokers from across Canada.

Rempel was appointed to the prestigious position on Sept. 24, at their annual meeting in Banff.

For Rempel, acting in this type of capacity isn't new.

He has worked with professional development for brokers for the past decade. He joined the Insurance Brokers Association of Manitoba in 1996 and became president in 2003.

He became vice-president of the national body in 2008.

Rempel has also seen changes in his own business, having moved to a large new location in Morris, less than a year ago.

However, what he calls a "strong professional group of brokers" allows him to take time for his new position.

Rempel began his insurance career in a southern Manitoba brokerage in 1988. He and his wife Lynn purchased Remple Insurance Brokers in Morris in 1990.

Despite all his professional work, Rempel has maintained strong support for the community.

After years of coaching hockey and baseball, and a job as president of the Morris Community Development Association he was instrumental in bringing a Manitoba Major Junior Hockey League team (the Pembina Valley Twisters) to Morris.

He is currently president and part owner of the Twisters,
and is the director of the Valley Agriculture Society and Manitoba Stampede.
