OK all you Philadelphia lawyers....
I know the issue of front plates has been discussed *several* times b4.... BUT;
For obvious reasons
, this is a hot topic for me again.
I followed a link from the MTO site to the highway traffic act (Ontario)
LINKY
I can't find anything there that says a front plate is required
Anyone else care to try....

I think this is the kicker:
__________________________________________________ ___________
Permit requirements
7. (1) No person shall drive a motor vehicle on a highway unless,
(a) there exists a currently validated permit for the vehicle;
(b) there are displayed on the vehicle, in the prescribed manner,
(i) number plates issued in accordance with the regulations showing the number of the permit issued for the vehicle, or
(ii) number plates described in subsection (7.2) if the vehicle is an historic vehicle and the Ministry has issued a currently validated permit for it; and
(c) evidence of the current validation of the permit is affixed, in the prescribed manner, to,
(i) one of the number plates mentioned in subclause (b) (i) displayed on the vehicle, or
(ii) to a mini-plate attached to the number plate exposed on the rear of the vehicle, if number plates described in subsection (7.2) are displayed on the vehicle. R.S.O. 1990, c. H.8, s. 7 (1); 2000, c. 29, s. 1 (1).
__________________________________________________ _______________
Basically it says in (b)(i) - you have to display the plate(s) they give you; and in (c)(i) - you have to have a validation sticker on one of them.
But, then again, I'm not a lawyer, nor do I play one on TV. If there is a way out of using a front plate I'd love to hear from a real shyster, I mean lawyer.

^ that's exactly what I had found before I bothered to read the replies to your thread. D*** that was like a scavenger hunt. LOL
Yeah I wonder about the prescribed manner legislation too?? Maybe you can set a mailing address here and the register it in NS!
Edit: This might have relevance to the prescribed regs. Need to find the bolded section.

Just got this from someone else..
The word "prescribed" means prescribed by the Regulations.
So looking at the Regs, here you go (s. 9(3) of R.R.O. 1990, Regulation 628):
Number Plates
9. (1) Evidence of validation issued for use on a number plate shall be affixed,
(a) where the permit is for a commercial motor vehicle, in the upper right corner of the number plate exposed on the front of the motor vehicle; and
(b) in all other cases, in the upper right corner of the number plate exposed on the rear of the motor vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 628, s. 9 (1).
(2) Despite subsection (1), a RUO sticker shall be affixed in the upper left corner of the number plate exposed on the front of the bus. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 628, s. 9 (2).
(3) The number plates for a motor vehicle, other than a motorcycle or a motor assisted bicycle, shall be attached to and exposed in a conspicuous position on the front and rear of the motor vehicle. R.R.O. 1990, Reg. 628, s. 9 (3).
