In honor of Canada's 150th birthday, the Canadian Mint has been asking for ideas for new designs on our coins.

Moose Jaw's Andrew Meredith and his design have made it to the top 5 in his category, and he spoke about the inspiration behind his coin design.

"The design is symbolic of my childhood. I grew up of the farm, playing in the snow and drew inspiration from those moments."

Meredith is in the top 5 in his category, and he explains how the voting process works.

"People can vote as often as they like, and voting goes until October 9th. There are 5 categories and voting in other categories doesn't affect my chances of winnng."

To vote for Andrew, you can head to mint.ca and vote for the coin labeled Winter Fun.
