[3|34] PRESIDENT’S MESSAGE Hello fellow Canadian Paper Money Society Members & Collectors… The CPMS is in need of volunteers! The Journal editor position still remains vacant, along with the second vice- president. If you feel you might be a suitable candidate for one of these positions, please feel free to reach out to me. The Society also requires Journal articles from all members. With the winter freeze in the air, this is a great time to for collectors to dig into their collection and research an item or two for an article. The CPMS members have so much to share, and I am always thrilled when information is shared. Exciting news for bank note collectors! The Bank of Canada just announced it would be releasing a banknote in 2017 to commemorate the 150th anniversary of Confederation of Canada. To date, the Bank of Canada has only issued two commemorative bank notes into circulation, the 1935 $25 honouring the Silver Jubilee of King George V and the 1967 $1 note celebrating Canada’s 100th anniversary. Details on the denomination, the number of notes that will circulate and the means to obtain them will be made public closer to the issue date of July 1 2017. The bank has invited all Canadians to propose bank note design ideas, and information can be found through the Bank of Canada website. A first for Canadian bank notes is now in circulations. On 2 May 2014 Carolyn Wilkins was appointed by the Bank of Canada as the new deputy governor. This will be the first time a woman’s signature will appear on the Bank of Canada notes. The signatures of Wilkins-Poloz are now being seen on the $20 notes. The signature changeover prefixes are sure to be in demand and desirable for polymer, prefix and changeover collectors. With the new polymer Frontier themed Canadian bank note series that was released in 2011, I have been approached a number of times for my views on the controversy that Canadian women are not featured on Canadian banknotes, and what is the position of the Society on this issue. I undertook a little exercise to find those banknotes depicting women and present my findings in the listings below and on the next page. I tell people that the CPMS does not have any say on what is depicted on the Canadian bank notes, and that we are excited every time a new series of bank notes is released into circulation by the Bank of Canada, showcasing new advances in security and anti-counterfeiting features along with the new designs.

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.
