The shinny tournament – hockey played outdoors without equipment – took place on Hockey Day in Canada, an annual national event that celebrates our country’s love of the game. The Old Ottawa South Moose – a team of minor hockey coaches and casual players – went undefeated throughout the sudden death, winner-take-all tournament, overcoming the Glebe in the first game, then advancing to the final to beat Ottawa East for the Cup. The four-team tournament also included the host team from Heron Park, completing the four areas of the Capital Ward. Stellar play by ace forwards Kelly Hembruff and Todd Saunders powered Old Ottawa South to victory, skating circles around many opposing players – Cont’d on page 20 Brett, Glen, Sion, Kelly, Todd and David Old Ottawa South Winter Carnival 2008 Go to page 14 for article by Lisa Drouillard and for more photos go to pages 2, 25 and 47.

  • The Art of Money Colville’S Centennial Coins
    ART CANADA INSTITUTE INSTITUT DE L’ART CANADIEN APRIL 30, 2021 THE ART OF MONEY COLVILLE’S CENTENNIAL COINS Fifty-four years ago Expo 67 opened in Montreal—and the coins created by revered Canadian painter Alex Colville were a part of the world fair festivities. On the anniversary of the event ACI is launching a new online exhibition about the famed currency that marked the country’s 100-year celebration of Confederation. In 2017, the Art Canada Institute published Alex Colville: Life & Work by Ray Cronin, a work about our country’s foremost realist painter and how he imbued his meticulously painted scenes of everyday life with profound questions about the human condition. Our new online exhibition takes a closer look at a highly celebrated project by the Toronto-born, Maritime-based artist, one that produced the most widely- circulated artistic objects in Canadian history: six centennial coins that Colville (1920–2013) designed in 1965 and 1966 for the Royal Canadian Mint in celebration of Canada’s one hundredth anniversary of Confederation. Marking the anniversary of the opening of Expo 67 on April 27, 1967, The Measure of Nature: Alex Colville’s Centennial Coins, presented in partnership with the Beaverbrook Art Gallery and Billie Magazine, reveals the artist’s process of developing indelible currency inspired by Canadian wildlife. Sara Angel Founder and Executive Director, Art Canada Institute A NATIONAL TALENT Alex Colville, Family and Rainstorm, 1955 In 1964, when Minister of Finance Walter L. Gordon invited Canadian artists, sculptors, and designers to submit proposals for a coin set to be issued in 1967 to commemorate the Canadian Centennial, Colville’s career was thriving.
