PAINTINGS: BY Wera — a Ca-
nadian artist who paints varied
seascapes, landscapes and scenes
of faraway places — will be shown

passion for the arts and keeping up
with her painting.

known as a West Coast artist or a
B.C. artist, preferring to paint the
country in which she lives —- and
be a Canadian artist.

Showing over 50 works, this
display will offer art lovers a host
of varied works of nature and sre-
nery reflecting Peters’ travels to
faraway places.

The showing runs from 10 a.m.

iectors to show off
commemorative coins

THE NORTH Shore Numismatic Society is holding its 13th
annual coin show Oct. 17 and 18, unveiling its new scries of
specially struck commemorative coins.

Formed to promete the hobby
of coin collecting, the 95-member
society each year features a dif-
ferent attraction. One year it was a
number of early gold coins; one
year it was a set of $3 notes; this
year it is the new series coins.

Together on these coins — most-
ly struck in antiqued bronze — are
motifs that are inspired by local
history and attractions such as the
North Shore Lions.

Known in Indian legend as the
stone spirits of Ko and Klon, the
Lions are featured in the series,

with the accompanying story on
the mounting card.

“You have sa many things that
are related to the Lions (such as 4
football team) and people don’t
know what the legend is,’’ said
society member Ray Mah.

Other. subjects featured on the
coins are Comet Halley and Engine
374, the recently restored
locomotive that used to sit at Vai-
couver’s Kitsilano Beach.

Mah expects that the limited edi-
tion coins will become a collector’s
item. ‘Being a numismatic society
