The Manitoba government is asking residents to vote on the design of a new specialty licence plate that pays homage to provincial parks.

Manitobans have five options, with a portion of the proceeds of every plate sold going to an endowment fund for park improvements.

The designs feature a campsite at night, someone canoeing on a waterway, a replication of a map, a loon on a lake and a pure black one to represent a park at night.

The Nature Conservancy of Canada applied for the creation of a new specialty plate as a way for Manitobans to show their love for nature.

The Crown-owned Manitoba Public Insurance currently offers 19 specialty licence plates, with more than 208,000 Manitobans owning one.

The new provincial park licence plates are to be made available next year.
