1969 Nanaimo, BC, Wong Bros. Enterprises Diners' Rendezvous Bathtub Race Capital Token
Bathtub racing -- literally a whimsical race between boats built around bathtubs -- originated in Nanaimo in 1967. This 1969 medallion celebrates Nanaimo's third annual bathtub race, brought to you by "Diners' Rendezvous." Apparently, this was a midcentury Chinese restaurant that featured a kitschy star-speckled ceiling meant to resemble the night sky. 1969 was Diners' Rendezvous' "Lucky 13th" anniversary.
