Because the message had been left in French, he wasn't entirely convinced that he had understood correctly, but he thought he had just been awarded first prize. When I called the Quebec-based organization 10 follow up. they confirmed that he had indeed won. Not only that, but he was the first prize-winner in the organization's ten-year history to have been awarded the prize unanimously! Although Kiff is a signature member of the prestigious American Walercolour Society, he had not even heard of the Société Canadienne until they invited him 10 enter their annual competition. Talk about a prize falling from heaven... leaches drawing and painting at Capitano College during the school year, and at die Summer Centre for the Ans in France during the summer months. Unity Bainbridge Another North Shore artist/resident recently received an important award. Unity Bainbridge, a historian, teacher and artist from West Vancouver, was awarded the order of B.C. in May. This is the highest award given out by the province. Unity has been painting for some 60-odd years. Much of her work has found its way into book form, particularly the sketches and stories she accumulated during her frequent visits to Native communities in B.C. Congratulations to them both!
