Daniel Wesley, a five-time paralympian and 12-time medalist for Canada in alpine skiing and wheelchair racing at the Summer and Winter Games, agreed, saying every one of his medals has meanings and motivation because of the memories attached to them and the people he has been able to share them with.
"The 2010 Paralympic medals demonstrates to me, the public and other paralympians how greatly our accomplishments and stories are valued," he said.
In addition to the Aboriginal art, the obverse side of the medals is embossed with the Olympic Rings or Paralympic agitos and the hand-cropped section of the orca or raven design is lasered on with a subtle wood grain effect.
On the reverse side the medals contain the official names of the Games as well as Vancouver 2010's distinctive emblems and the name of the sport. On the Paralympic medals, braille is also used.
The Games motto With Glowing Hearts/Des plus brilliants exploits is written in white lettering on the medal's blue and green ribbon.
The Royal Canadian Mint will produce 615 Olympic and 399 Paralympic medals for the 2010 Winter Games.
