Some walk silently close together, wise 14.5” x 20” x 6” expressive faces. A few stop to rest. One slows to ponder her tasty treat; a troop of baboons wandering by. ‘My pieces capture a moment in time in order to bring others to a closer awareness and appreciation of the natural world.’” 125 book_12May08.indd 125 19/05/2008 12:01:09 AM “This piece represents the amalgamation of my passions – drawing, experimenting with different techniques, depicting subjects up close, travelling, and birds of prey – in a unique way. While drawing is often associated with pencil on paper, I drew onto a board toned with thin acrylic washes, then created layers using erasers and scalpels to remove pencil before applying more graphite. And, although portraits traditionally show one subject on a plain background, I combined multiple poses, sizes, and light sources, concentrating on directing the viewer’s gaze from one pose to the next. Furthermore, spending weeks under an active Harpy Eagle nest during the AFC Expedition was an unforgettable experience, as I had always dreamed of observing the most powerful bird of prey in its natural habitat. By portraying this threatened species, I hope to increase awareness of the key role its conservation plays in the maintenance of a healthy ecosystem. I often say that my ‘best painting’ will be my ‘next one’.

  • Commercial Rents in Key Canadian Economic Markets, Fourth Quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 A.M
    Commercial rents in key Canadian economic markets, fourth quarter 2020 Released at 8:30 a.m. Eastern time in The Daily, Thursday, February 25, 2021 Commercial rents fell 0.6% in the fourth quarter, following a 0.5% (revised from +0.7%) increase in the third quarter. The decline was concentrated in the retail sector, where rents are tied to retail sales. Retail revenue fell sharply in the fall during the resurgence of the COVID-19 pandemic, following the shutdown of non-essential businesses in many regions of the country. Commercial rents fall in the fourth quarter Nationally, commercial rents decreased by 0.6% from the third to the fourth quarter. Lower rents for retail buildings (-4.0%) more than offset higher rents for industrial buildings and warehouses (+2.2%) and office buildings (+0.5%). Retail building rents generally rise in the fourth quarter in tandem with the Christmas shopping season, as a portion of those rents is tied to retail sales. However, retail rents fell 4.0% in 2020, mostly because of large base rent concessions and discounts given by landlords during the onset of the resurgence of the pandemic; this brought rents down 4.5% from September to October. Retail rents rose 1.9% in November and edged down 0.1% in December. Office rents edged up 0.5% in the fourth quarter, following the phasing out of rent rebates and deferrals by landlords in the sector. With the resurgence of e-commerce sales in November and December, coupled with strong wholesale and manufacturing sectors, demand for inventory space continued to grow.

  • Banknotes and the Nation
    Andrew Champagne At the Intersection of Place Branding and Political Branding: Canadian Banknote Iconography and Political Priorities Abstract In 2012, the Bank of Canada began to release a new series of banknotes into circulation. Made of polymer and expected to last 2.5 times longer than previous versions, according to the Bank, these banknotes represent leading-edge technology and will expand the frontiers of banknote security. At the same time, compared to the previous “Canadian Journey” series, the overall iconography of the “Frontier” series has been noticeably changed. Over the course of their lifespan, more international visitors will be informed and influenced by Canadian banknote iconography than will Canadians. Throughout this article, I argue that the iconography of the “Frontier” series of banknotes is as much an expression of state power over a defined territory and its people, as it is a means to promote a particular view of Canada - both at home and abroad – that corresponds with the Conservative government of Stephen Harper’s political priorities and values. Considering that the Minister of Finance has authority over the “form and material” of the final design of all banknotes, I argue that Canadian banknote iconography is being used as an explicit means of political branding. In support of this, it is demonstrated that currency is increasingly being used as a means of mass communication more generally and through a quantitative content analysis of all banknotes produced by the central banks of Canada, Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa; I argue that there can be two different categories of banknote iconography, political and non-political.

  • Activity 1: History of Canadian Money and Crossword [PDF]
    MODULE 1: Money—Earn it! Session 1: Introduction and expectation setting Reading: History of Canadian Money Source: www.thecanadaguide.com/basics/money From the 1800s to Today In early Canadian history, people in Britain’s Canadian colonies used a variety of different currencies to buy things, including British pounds, American dollars, Spanish pesos, and even unique colonial currencies made by local banks and governments. In 1867, the new unified Canadian government gained exclusive constitutional power over currency, and in 1870 it used this power to pass the Dominion Notes Act (now known as the Currency Act) which made the Canadian Dollar ($) the official currency of Canada. A Canadian dollar is made up of 100 Canadian cents (¢). Originally tied to value of the British pound, and then the price of gold, since 1931 the Canadian dollar has been a so-called “free-floating” currency with a value determined by the international marketplace. Like most advanced countries, Canada also has a national bank, known as the Bank of Canada, that has the power to both print and buy currency in order to help control the currency’s value. In the opinion of the International Monetary Fund, the Canadian dollar is one of the world’s seven reserve currencies known for its stability and reliability even in times of economic uncertainty. Loonie (one dollar) The Loonie is a large coin made of gold-coloured nickel. There used to be a one-dollar bill, but it was phased out in the 1980s. The coin is called a “Loonie” because it has a picture of a loon, the national bird of Canada, on it.
