CanWest Mall, located in the Western Communities, takes great pride in funding Soul of the Tiger, Chinese Amber Carvings from the Reif Collection, a special exhibition of the Chinese treasures from the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria.
The Gallery�s amber collection, one of the largest and best in Canada, is a recent acquisition by the Gallery and deserves wide exposure. All of us at CanWest Mall are pleased to be involved in this exhibition, providing an opportunity for our fellow citizens to enjoy this taste of the rich Chinese culture.
What better way to improve our understanding of the region, the culture and people than to enjoy these masterpieces? Each has a story to tell. Collectively they tell us much and hopefully make those living in or visiting our city aware of the Art Gallery of Greater Victoria... a significant treasure.

Fairway Markets located on Vancouver Island, are proud to co-sponsor the exhibition and catalogue entitled �The Soul of the Tiger, Chinese Amber Carvings from the Reif Collection�. This is the first such exhibition mounted in Canada showing this mysterious material wonderfully carved by skillful Chinese craftsmen of the past.
These great works of art should be enjoyed by all, and Fairway Markets are happy to help in providing an opportunity for the British Columbia public to see this remarkable treasure, which we understand is one of the finest Chinese carved amber collections in the world. We hope the exhibition and publication will be enjoyed now and by future generations of art lovers.
