Well I couldn't get in to the Unveiling it was for guests and invited people. I also found out they did not have any coins there. Went to the post office and bought one and went back and waited till it was over then went in.

Two Mint Reps
Got my coin signed it should be the ONLY ONE the REP on the left is the other signature.
You are probably right CC they did tell me there names but I forgot you was you, that means the one on the right is the signature on the left side of the certificate with Bondar.
Thanks for sharing your experience and pics!! That's a great memory right there. Very cool to have your coin signed by a Canadian icon on the day the coin was released.
It was in a meeting room that has the seats going uphill, a full class of aviation students, people she worked with here and other invited guests, so I guess 100 people.
