Hello Tony, "A Mari Usque ad Mare" or "From sea to sea" is the motto on Canada's official Coat of Arms. See http://www.heraldry.ca/misc/coatArmsCanada.htm
You have achieved that "A Mari Usque ad Mare" status with your sundials, one small custom dial with me on the Pacific Coast, Vancouver Island and now one large reproduction the Atlantic Coast, Prince Edward Island. This is an achievement as Canada spans four and a half time zones from sea to sea. Again thanks for the sundial and congratulations! NASS has few members in the Maritimes. To my knowledge there are no members in PEI and Nova Scotia but three in New Brunswick. Two of those contribute to this list from Fredericton about 300 km away from Charlottetown. Alas, I am as far away as you are. Regards, Roger Bailey From: Tony Moss Sent: Saturday, October 20, 2012 1:31 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Canadian Inauguration Fellow Shadow Watchers, On Friday 26th October at Holland College on Prince Edward Island in Canada a full-size re-production of a sundial made by Heath and Wing of London in 1773 will be inaugurated. This 17.4" diameter instrument was the last commercial sundial to leave my workshop in 2011. Inscribed "The gift of SAMUEL HOLLAND Esq. his MAJESTY's Surveyor General of Lands for the Northern District of North America to Dartmouth College New Hampshire" By kind permission of Dartmouth College, the dial, in phosphor bronze, has been accurately reproduced but re-delineated to read correctly at its new location. The time of the inauguration has yet to be announced but will be published on the SML as soon as I have been informed of it. The college authorities would welcome the attendance of any dialists from NASS or BSS who might be nearby at the time. How I wish I could be there :-( Tony Moss -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- --------------------------------------------------- https://lists.uni-koeln.de/mailman/listinfo/sundial
