Title of the illustration: Spirits of New West and Downtown
Description: On this banner I have illustrated what represents New West and Downtown to me. The Hyack logo represents determination and cooperation. When I just came to Canada I noticed Canadian people were really determined and helpful. The tin solider, represents the role of a gentlemen. The clock represents punctuality. Canadians are always on time.

Title of the illustration: Flying the Waves
Description: I mixed the places around in Downtown New West, the Army and Navy and the Quay and all the nice buildings. I have made the background the hour before sundown  and the reflections on the wave. I’ve always loved birds. I have been seeing lots of support to Canada because of the Olympics. I put a flag on the balcony.

Name: Diana Djaksigulova
School: John Robson Elementary School
Grade: 7
Title of the illustration: Fraser Rainbow
Description: For me, New Westminster serves as a perfect home. New Westminster is very colourful place. It’s warm and welcoming and filled with bright colours. In my picture, the salmon represents the culture and history of New Westminster. The multi-coloured water represents the heart-warming colours of this city. The flower-filled sky represents the beautiful environment the city offers.

Name: Harleen Gill
School: Connaught Heights
Grade: 6
Title of the illustration: A Royal Morning
Description: “A Royal Morning” is based on the “Royal City” and its sunrise. It shows the Downtown, friends, family, fun and the fresh ocean powder and the tall buildings. All of this is in New Westminster Downtown.

Name: Shaina Mae Naynes
School: John Robson Elementary School
Grade: 7
Title of the illustration: The Maple Leaf of New Westminster
Description: For this picture, I was thinking of the Canadian flag, so I drew the maple leaf and a tree behind it. I decide to colour the back blue because New Westminster always has good weather. The other reason I drew this picture is that whenever you go to New Westminster you can always see a maple leaf. I drew the blue building because there is a lot of buildings in New Westminster.

Name: Timothy Carlos
School: John Robson Elementary School
Grade: 7
Title of the illustration: Historical Greatness
Description: These are the three things that made New Westminster historical and memorable. Pattullo Bridge, Fraser River and the famous vintage cares of the old days. Around the illustration are waves that symbolizes the Fraser River. These three things are what made New Westminster what it is today, a place full of history and great times.
