Prepare To Pay Twice For Sticker Renewal

, , , , , , , , , , , , , , , , ,

A reminder that sometimes things are just too good to be true; if you didn’t renew your licence plate sticker in 2020 you’ll have to pay double in 2021.

The Ministry of Transportation says that those who did not pay to renew last year will have to pay for 2020 as well as 2021 this time around.

That means for northern Ontario, you’ll be on the hook for at least $120 to renew, while if you’re in southern Ontario that doubles to $240.

This comes as a surprise to some after the Ford Government announced last year that in an effort to keep people home and stop the spread of COVID-19, all stickers and licences that expired on or after March 1st 2020 would be legal until further notice.

While that notice has not yet officially been given, the Province has started a social media blitz encouraging drivers to renew their stickers and/or licences online.

The person also has not been in our region.

The reason the person is marked as from the area is due to outdated home address information.
