Looks like you're going to need both plates. Here's what I've found:
Quote »The Motor Vehicle Act Regulations proscribe that number plates shall attached if provided. If you get two plates, you need to display two plates...
Motor Vehicle Act Regulation 3.01 3.01 No person shall drive or operate a vehicle on a highway unless it bears number plates in compliance with this division. Motor Vehicle Act Regulation 3.011 3.011 Number plates for a vehicle shall be attached (a) where, under the Act, 2 number plates are issued and authorized for display on a vehicle, one plate to the front and one plate to the rear of the vehicle, and (b) where, under the Act, a single number plate is issued and authorized for display on a vehicle, to the rear of the vehicle.[/quote]My father in law lives in Halifax, NS and they have the same law. We have the same law here and Texas. We are both rebellious, so I gave him my front Texas plate to put on the front of his truck. I stuck a vanity Dodge plate on the front. Now we are breaking the law in 2 countries. That's what we call multitasking

As long as you display your BC plates on front and back you should be fine in also attaching the German plate. It may be technically illegal but I doubt that any cop would care.
