2003 Canadian Festival
50-Cent Sterling Silver Coins
This fabulous and fun-filled
three-year journey across Canada will celebrate the festivals unique to
each province and territory.
 Back
to Batoche - (#624433)
This coin transports us to Batoche
(Saskatchewan), the celebrated enclave of Métis people, the place where they
gather every summer to celebrate the cultural treasures that were born out
of their distinct
history.
 Festival
acadien de Caraquet - (#624423)
The hallmarks of Acadian culture are
highlighted in this dynamic design that hints at the legends, captivating
music, maritime ties and national pride that can be found on the shores of
New Brunswick.
 Great
Northern Arts Festival - (#624443)
A solitary figure gazing towards an
aurora-filled sky conjures up all the mystique of the Northwest Territories.
The design on the garment and the ornate braid reflect the power of life's
necessities to inspire art.
 Yukon
International Storytelling Festival - (#624413)
We love a good story. No matter how old we
are or where we come from, we cannot resist the distant voices from those
far-off places. Fact or fiction, we are transfixed, transported to a new
world by nothing more than our willing imagination.
This year, Whitehorse is the place to be as
the Canadian Festivals Series visits Yukon International Storytelling
Festival to bring you the captivating delights of this unique event. People
from around the world gather under the midnight sun to reveal ancient
traditions of oral history and share modern forms of storytelling that are
designed with pure enjoyment in mind.
