To John Mercer and all, Greg Peterson in Saskatoon sent me the following answer in response to Your subject question. Believe me, he is not pleased with Saskatchewan's policy.
Greg is the author of a web site, "One Metre" under Canada, which he now has withdrawn for upgrades. Normally you can access it easily via Bill Pott's SI Navigator.

Alberta allows for both depending on how it is quoted to the licencing office (i.e. if you give your height/weight in metric it is listed in metric). The remaining provinces and territories list metric values only (BC, ON, QC, YT, NU, NT, NF) and the remaining do not list height or weight (NS, PE, NB). Saskatchewan, in the past 2 years, has been phasing in new photo ID's for driver's licences. However they chose not to switch to, or allow, metric. Local issuers have said that most (but not all) young people come in quoting their height in metric so they have to keep a conversion table to translate it for the driver's licences. > > Gregory Peterson > Saskatoon SK Canada > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Norman & Nancy Werling <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > Date: Monday, September 22, 2003 10:28 pm > Subject: Fw: [USMA:27036] Drivers Licence > > > Greg, > > > > I know that you have mentioned this before, but please tell me > > again.
