Description
Large wooden plaque. The plaque took over 5,000 hours to complete, from 1965 to 1967. Fifteen hardwood veneers were used including walnut, yew, maple, cherry, and mahogany. The plaque depicts our ten provinces, each with a coat of arms that includes symbols of the provincial resources and manufacturing. Western provinces are on the left—when facing the plaque – and eastern provinces are on the right. All provincial coat of arms hang on a chain linking them together in the shape of an eagle watching over the provinces. Religion and government are represented with a church and the parliament buildings in Ottawa inside a face, representative of one—a complete nation with music, sport, industry and religion. On the maple leaf stalk there are two beavers. The first Canadian house, a teepee, has two men seated inside—a First Nations man wearing a headdress and an RCMP officer in uniform, both smoking pipes, symbols of peace. A knot in the wood has been strategically placed by Mr. Dal Monte as the eye of the RCMP officer.

Biographical Notes
This plaque was created by Mr. Dal Monte to celebrate and honour his new home, Canada. Mr. Dal Monte conducted extensive research to learn about the provinces. He had always wanted to create inlay and thought of this project to commemorate the Canadian centennial. The new flag was being planned at the time, and Kitimat was multi-ethnic with 60+ nationalities represented and all working together.

Accession Number

Description
Walking stick made from a tree branch, with painted/carved inscriptions giving the names of Boy Scout troops and the dates of trips to different landmarks and locations (Thornhill Mountain, Claque/Clague Mountain, Hirsch Creek Falls, Douglas Channel, Squirrel Mountain). Grooves have been carved into the circumference every ~12 or so inches along the stick. Towards the tip, there is a diamond-like pattern of intersecting lines carved into the wood, followed by a series of 6 more circular grooves, each about 1 inch apart, at the very end. Many of the carvings have been painted green, and there is a reddish smear, possibly from paint, along one side of the tip of the stick. Also near the tip is a pencil drawing of a crown, above the words "Boy Scouts."
