Canada's North Contest

Visitors to Canada’s Northern House (602 West Hastings St., Vancouver) can enter to win a northern treasure.

From February 1 – 28, kiosks will be set up within Canada’s Northern House where visitors may enter to win one of three spectacular and symbolic prizes.*

The promise of gold once drove enough people to Yukon to make it one of the most populated areas in Canada in the late 1800’s. The Yukon government is hoping the promise of gold – specifically a 3.8 Troy oz. gold nugget valued at approximately $9,000 CAD, will drive people to Canada’s Northern House to enter to win.
Yellowknife, the Diamond Capital of North America™, Yellowknife, NWT has sponsored a .59 carat Government Certified Canadian Diamond™ valued at approximately $8,000 CAD. Visitors to Canada’s Northern House can enter to win this Polar Bear Diamond™, which was created in Yellowknife at a local cutting and polishing factory. The original rough diamond weighed 1.31 carats and  was transformed (cut and polished) on August 27, 2009.  The diamond mines northeast of Yellowknife produce 15 per cent of the world's rough gemstone diamonds by value.
Nunavut has one of the most artistic populations in the world, with almost 30 per cent of the population involved in the production of traditional Inuit art. One lucky winner will receive a beautiful tapestry entitled QAQQILUTUK (CAMP SITE). Valued at approximately $5,000 CAD, the tapestry was created in 1995 by artists Malaya Akulukjuk and Anna Etuangat. It is donated by The Uqqurmiut Centre for Arts and Crafts.
