Gold & Silver Buyer’s Guide Inc. SINCE 1973 Precious Metals Buyer’s Guide Gold and silver are two of the most conservative investments you can make. However, if you buy the wrong form, you could lose 30% to 50% immediately. There are various forms of gold and silver, but the first thing to know is that YOU WANT BULLION, not numismatic/collectible coins that are hyped on radio and TV. With bullion, you pay the smallest mark-up over the current value of the gold/silver content. In short, you get more metal for your money. The commonly-promoted numismatic/collectible coins on radio/TV easily carry premiums of 30% to 50% and sometimes two to three times the value of the gold/silver content. Gold bullion comes in two forms: bullion coins and bullion bars. GOLD 1-oz. American Gold Eagle bullion coins Gold bullion coins are produced by various government mints, including the U.S. Mint, the Royal Canadian Mint, Australia’s Perth Mint and the Austrian Mint. 1-oz. Canadian Gold Maple Leaf 1-oz. American Gold Eagles are the world’s most popular gold bullion coins; they also come in ½-oz., ¼-oz. and 1/10-oz. coins. Because Gold Eagles are alloyed coins, 91.67% pure (22-karat), they weigh slightly more than their stamped weights. Be assured that a 1-oz. Gold Eagle contains one ounce of gold, and a ½-oz. Gold Eagle contains one-half ounce of gold, etc. 1-oz. Australian Gold Kangaroo 1-oz. Austrian Gold Philharmonic cmigs.com | 800.528.1380 Also widely traded are South African Gold Krugerrands, which launched the gold bullion industry in the early 1970s. -
1 Secondary Education in British Columbia It Is the Aim of the Kindergarten to Grade 12 Programme That All Students Graduate
Secondary Education in British Columbia 1 It is the aim of the Kindergarten to Grade 12 programme that all students graduate with a sound education that is relevant to their lives. The goals set for schools are defined by standards that provide meaningful measures of students' progress. These standards are realistic expectations of what students should know and be able to do as they progress through 13 years of schooling. The provincial curriculum expresses these standards as expected "learning outcomes" for each subject or course and grade. These learning outcomes reflect patterns of student development and actual standards of achievement within the province. In the primary years, standards are based on expectations for children in their age range. In Grades 4 to 12 standards are based on expected learning outcomes for each grade or course. Meaning of Specific Terms Secondary education in British Columbia includes two levels: Junior Secondary Grades : Grades 8, 9 and 10 Senior Secondary Grades : Grades 11 and 12 Career programmes : There are three types of career programmes at the high school level: secondary school apprenticeship, co-op education, and career preparation. Secondary school apprenticeship programmes and co-op education programmes are made up of workplace-based training. Career preparation programmes consist of six courses at the Grade 11 and 12 level. These courses may either be Ministry-authorized or career preparation courses. The Ministry recognizes all career programmes that have been approved by the school district and registered with the Ministry. Dogwood Diploma : This is the British Columbia Certificate of Graduation for the province's secondary school programme. -
Celebrating 90 Years of O.O.M.A. 1927
THE LINK March 2017 Celebrating 90 Years of O.O.M.A. OVERSEAS OLD MARGARETIAN ASSOCIATION 1927 - 2017 O.O.M.A. “Old Girl” Pins OVERSEAS OLD MARGARETIAN ASSOCIATION The first Q.M.S. Old Girl’s gathering was held on June 11, 1927. The School was only six years old, so the fifteen Old Girls present at that meeting would seem a very good percentage of the total number. At that gathering, the Overseas Old Margaretian Association (O.O.M.A.) was formed. A Constitution was drawn up which stated, “The object of the Association is to be a bond of fellowship between former members of the School, and to help them to carry out the School ideals of loyalty, self-discipline and service.” It was at that meeting that the Old Girl’s blazer was designed, with its red and gold binding. For a number of years, since the first School Magazine appeared in the summer of 1928, news of Old Girls was put in the Magazine, but, for some years now, the Old Girls have had their own paper, most suitably entitled, “The Link.” It has been the policy of the Association, throughout the years, to keep dues for members as low as possible to enable everyone to join. It cannot be too strongly stressed that this “bond of fellowship between former members of the School” is a great asset to the School. Since 1945, the O.O.M.A. has had a Memorial Bursary Fund which, each year, has helped a child financially. It was founded “In memory of those former pupils who lost their lives in the World War of 1939-45.” The O.O.M.A. -

Breaking Tradition
ANNUAL REPORT 2012 BREAKING TRADITION As our business evolves, so must our brand—to ensure our corporate identity is an authentic expression of our character, offer and value. We renewed our brand to convey the dynamism of the Mint, our commitment to our stakeholders, and the spirit of engagement that drives our interactions with customers. As part of the exercise, we adopted a fresh, modernized logo. This new mark retains the maple leaf as a Canadian icon and coins as a symbol of our core business. It affirms our two core pillars of pride and trust and emphasizes in a new way our third: innovation. 2 | ROYAL CANADIAN MINT ANNUAL REPORT 2012 5 Financial and Operating Highlights 32 Performance Against Objectives 8 At a Glance: Breaking Tradition 34 Management Discussion and Analysis 18 Message from the President and CEO 55 Management Report 19 Message from the Chair 56 Audit Committee Report 20 Corporate Social Responsibility 57 Independent Auditor’s Report 22 Corporate Governance 58 Financial Statements 29 Directors and Officers 62 Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements 30 Business Lines 100 Statistics HEAD OFFICE AND WINNIPEG PLANT BOUTIQUE LOCATIONS OTTAWA PLANT Royal Canadian Mint Royal Canadian Mint Ottawa Visit our online store 320 Sussex Drive 520 Lagimodière Boulevard 320 Sussex Drive for a full selection of products Ottawa, Ontario Winnipeg, Manitoba Ottawa, Ontario at www.mint.ca Canada K1A 0G8 Canada R2J 3E7 Canada K1A 0G8 613-993-3500 204-983-6400 613-933-8990 Vancouver 752 Granville Street Vancouver, British Columbia -
