Heritage department launches poster contest

Sheila Copps, the minister of Canadian heritage, invites Nunavut students to participate in the 2003 Canada Day Poster Challenge.

The theme of this year’s contest is “Celebrating Canada’s Natural Beauty.” It is open to anyone 18 years or younger.

Copps will invite the 13 provincial and territorial finalists to celebrate Canada Day in Ottawa on July 1, 2003, where they will join the Prime Minister, the Governor General and thousands of other Canadians on Parliament Hill for Canada’s 136th birthday party.

Contestants have until Feb. 28, 2003, to submit their design to the Nunavut Celebrate Canada Committee. For more information visit www.canadianheritage.gc.ca/affiche-poster.
