2008 Ottawa Convention Update
Ian Bennett, Master of the Royal Canadian Mint will be joining us for the opening of the bourse at 10:00 on Friday morning. He will then remain at the Mint's booth for a signature period, during which he will gladly sign the Mint's centennial book, the Annual Report or any other item you may wish to bring or purchase locally.

We will have a special guest on bourse floor on Saturday: the $1 million coin!

We will also have the visit, from Friday to Sunday, of several engravers of the Royal Canadian Mint. This will be a unique chance to meet with them and discuss their extremely interesting work, as well as, maybe, get them to sign some items.
