Sterling Silver Hand Engraved Bracelet

This sterling silver cuff was hand-made by Coast Salish artist Sweewa. The design features a hand-engraved beaver in the middle of the bracelet. 38.5 mm wide. (Appraised replacement value is $2,200)

About the artist: Sweewa was born to a Coast Salish mother and a German father, and his grandfather is Hereditary Chief Coquitlam Williams. At age 11 an unfortunate accident left him with one arm, so he turned to First Nations art during his years of recuperation. He left home at the age of 15, and partially supported himself by carving masks and small totems. In 1963 he entered the Vancouver School of Art, studying commercial art and sculpture. For 16 years he worked as a professional architectural model builder and commercial artist. Recently, he has focused his talents on making traditionally painted drums for Spirit Dancing and bone games. In 1996 he taught himself to engrave and carve silver and gold.

Boat Tour of Burrard Inlet for Six people

Four Hours on Burrard Inlet with Mossom Creek Naturalists (Retail value: $1,140)

Spend an afternoon on the water with two Mossom Creek naturalists. You and up to five guests will meet at Rocky Point Pier and head out into Port Moody Arm and Indian Arm for four hours of stories, nature talk, and whatever the inlet decides to show you that day. Seals, eagles, herons and the occasional surprise are all part of it.

The tour runs on a 22-foot tritoon, a three-pontoon boat that is stable, quiet and slow enough to enjoy the scenery. It has a sun-shade and open seating with plenty of room for the group to spread out. Non-alcoholic beverages and a box lunch are included for all six guests. Allergies and dietary requirements can be accommodated within reason.

Conditions: For up to 6 people. Must be redeemed by December 31, 2027. Date subject to boat and guide availability. The trip can be switched to a covered fishing vessel on request.

Deadline: Friday, December 4, 2026 at 11:59 p.m.
