Visitors to Canada’s Northern House (602 West Hastings St., Vancouver) can enter to win a northern treasure.
From February 1 – 28, kiosks will be set up within Canada’s Northern House where visitors may enter to win one of three spectacular and symbolic prizes.*
3.8 Troy oz Gold Nugget
The promise of gold once drove enough people to Yukon to make it one of the most populated areas in Canada in the late 1800’s. The Yukon government is hoping the promise of gold – specifically a 3.8 Troy oz. gold nugget valued at approximately $9,000 CAN, will drive people to Canada’s Northern House to enter to win.
.59 carat Government Certified Canadian Diamond™
As the diamond capital of North America, Yellowknife, NWT has donated a .59 carat Government Certified Canadian Diamond™ valued at approximately $8,000 CAN. Visitors to Canada’s Northern House can enter to win what is known as the Polar Bear Diamond™. The original rough diamond weighed 1.31 carats and it was transformed (cut and polished) on August 27, 2009.
Genuine Nunavut Tapestry
Nunavut has one of the most artistic populations in the world, with almost 30 per cent of the population involved in the production of traditional Inuit art. One lucky winner will receive a beautiful tapestry entitled QAQQILUTUK (CAMP SITE). Valued at approximately $5,000 CAN, the tapestry was created in 1995 by artists Malaya Akulukjuk and Anna Etuangat. It is donated by The Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts.
