DESIGN:

Canadian artist John Mantha has created an inspiring design that honours the many seaborne

expeditions that explored the West Coast during the 18th century with a special tribute to George

Vancouver (1757-1798). It was Vancouver?s exhaustive surveys of 1792-1794 that finally provided the

information landlocked explorers needed to reach the Pacific Ocean through the mountains. The

Aboriginal man in the design acknowledges the many First Nations communities that Vancouver

met, and who provided critical information on the land.
