History

The 1915 plates were made of re-enforced metal. The 1918 plates were made of a heavy steel, of which some were embossed. In 1919, porcelain enamelled iron plates were issued, and were renewed yearly until 1922.

In 1923 between the two great wars, Saskatchewan issued annual plates. Up until 1928, only the abbreviation "Sask" was used on the vehicle licence plates, and then the full spelling of Saskatchewan was implemented. The 1938 plates slogan commemorated the coronation of King George VI.

During World War II, stickers were issued in 1944 to validate the 1943 licence plates.

The slogan "Wheat Province" appeared on vehicle registration licence plates started in 1951 for three years. From 1956 to 1959, the slogan was re-used.

According to, Jerry "Woody" from Edmonton, Canada, it was only after 1955 that Saskatchewan plates were 6 X 12 inches which is the current size. 1955 was Saskatchewan's

50th anniversary celebrating becoming a province in 1905.

Scotchlite reflectorization on licence plate was started in 1958 and 1959 on an experimental basis. 1965 marked another provincial anniversary, 60 years or the Diamond Jubilee. Reflector plates were issued in 1970 and were green on white. In 1972, the plates were blue on white, and only the last two digits of the year were used.

The renewal sticker consists of both month and year on the same sticker by the year 1991. The plates were green on white, with a spot designated on the left side for the vehicle type such as PV for Private Vehicle. Three gold wheat sheaves separate the three letters on the left from the three numerals on the right. About 1997, two date stickers were not required on front and rear plates. The date sticker for licence renewal was placed annually on the rear plate, and a tiger lily sticker placed on the front plate.
