Today’s excursion started out at the Canadian Mint Pavilion right across the street from my office. I headed out on my lunch hour to see all the monies only to be turned away at the door by a very civil security guard who informed us all that “We’re not open until Friday.” He was kind enough not to point out the big sign that said the same thing out front that I had just walked right past. It may also surprise you to know I was not the only one who missed the sign. So, I put the money display on my schedule for next week and headed up around the corner to 602 Hastings Street to visit Canada’s Northern House. It’s the pavilion showcasing art and culture from the coldest part of our country – The Northern part of the White North. Now that’s cold.
The art displayed included paintings, beaded works, leather work, crafts and sculptures by people from Nunavut and Northwest Territories.
