ONTARIO ELIMINATING LICENCE PLATE RENEWAL FEES AND STICKERS
February 22, 2022 | Office of the Premier
TORONTO – The Ontario government is making life more affordable and convenient for nearly eight million vehicle owners
by eliminating license plate renewal fees and the requirement to have a license plate sticker for passenger vehicles, light-
duty trucks, motorcycles and mopeds, effective March 13, 2022.
“As the cost of living continues to go up, our government is cutting costs for families to make life more affordable,” said
Premier Doug Ford. “Eliminating the fee to renew your license plate and refunding the cost of doing so for the past two years
is a concrete way we can put and keep more money in the pockets of hard-working Ontarians.”
To receive a refund cheque, vehicle owners who have moved recently will need to confirm that their address information on
their vehicle permit or driver’s license is up-to-date at Ontario.ca/Address Change by March 7, 2022, and pay any
outstanding fees, fines or tolls. For more information and/or assistance with changing an address, vehicles owners can call
ServiceOntario’s dedicated line at 1-888-333-0049.

Hello from Kelly at Think Turtle Conservation Initiative, we can help!
As spring inches closer Think Turtle is getting ready for turtle
season 2022. To do this we sure could use the assistance of
some volunteers from Bancroft or neighboring communities to
assist us. Presently we need assistance with the following ...

Turtle Nest Protectors
(1) We are seeking someone that has a 'drill press' on their
premises to assist in one of the preparatory steps involved in
constructing turtle nest protectors for the upcoming turtle
nesting season. We need holes drilled. We will supply the wood.
(2) Someone is also needed to cut and prepare the wire mesh
(hardware cloth) for the nest protectors. We will supply the
wire mesh.
(3) After the holes are drilled and wire mesh is cut/prepared
we will need someone to assemble the nest protectors on their
premises. A cordless drill or electric drill will be needed.
Dividing the chores makes less work for any one person.
However, if someone would like to drill the holes, cut/prepare
the wire mesh and assemble the nest protectors on their
premises that would be brilliant.

If you are able to assist us with any of these tasks please get in
touch. Thank you so much for reading this post.
It would be greatly appreciated if you could share this post with
anyone you know that may be interested in helping the turtles
in this way.

Take care and stay safe!
Warm Regards,
Kelly Wallace, Managing Director
