Released as a souvenir of the Canadian Centennial this coin celebrates the treaties and land settlements created by the Canadian Government. Still in serious dispute, this issue is a hot topic and one that this medal does little to honour.

“In 1967 we got our first (in my living memory) alternate series with the Centennial coins, by artist Alex Colville, which remain our most beautifully designed set to date. Simple, well-rendered artwork, uniformly framed by some decent type. (How hard can it be?)…” Click for more

This double quilt was made by Ontario Mennonites in 1967. The four corners of the quilt are made from varied dress material of the day and the rest of the quilt is made of the red and white house motifs. It has been well used and cared for – I was fortunate to speak with the original owner who was in the shop when I purchased it.

This green on gold license plate was issued to commemorate B.C.’s 100th anniversary. It was the first in what would become a 5 year run of “wild colours” on British Columbia’s license plates

The CT-114 Tutor jet, owned by Dave Liniger, is painted in the Golden Centennaire paint scheme as a tribute to the uniquely patriotic team. The Golden Centennaires flew 100 fly-pasts across Canada to commemorate our nation’s centennial.

This special game was manufactured in Canada by the as one of the objects made available during the Canadian Centennial Celebration.
The instructions and other text appears in both of Canada’s official languages – English and French. The flap-top box (8.7cm long x 6cm wide x 1.3cm thick) is pictured on the upper left. The box includes the official Centennial Celebration symbol.The symbol can be seen in more detail on the back of each card (upper middle in the photograph).
There are 4 instruction cards in the deck which offer details for playing four different games with these cards. Each card is 8.5cm long x 5.5cm wide and features a date of note in Canada’s history and a sketch of a person who played a role at that time in the history of Canada. Below the sketch are some historic details about the time period and the person’s role in Canada’s history. The various numbers and symbols on each card relate to playing the games.

These pics are from two Centennial Issue road maps of Ontario (Northern Ontario and roads to recreation) . The maps themselves are standard fare so I didn’t include any shots, but the additional artwork is exceptional – some really fine samples of commercial art from the late 60′s. The captions extol the virtues of our hydroelectric dams, highway networks and bountiful protected parks. It’s all written in that glowing Centennial mood the whole country seemed to be in at the time. The thick colours and quality of lines are fantastic.
