[edit] Slogans
Through the years the province has associated a variety of sobriquets with motor vehicle licence plates.
1919-22 — Provincial Seal
1937 — "CORONATION YEAR"
1951-54, 1956-59 — "WHEAT PROVINCE"
1955 — "GOLDEN JUBILEE"
1965 — "DIAMOND JUBILEE"
1967 — "CANADA CENTENNIAL"
1973 — "HOME OF THE RCMP"
1977-date — Shaft of Wheat
In 1997 the province commenced using the wryly self-deprecating coinage "Land of Living Skies" in jocose reference to the province's summertime mosquitoes and grasshoppers.
