Notes:
Named after the Nor Westers Mountain Range in Ontario. Designed by Miss Evelyn B Halliday in February 1963 to commemorate the naming of the range in that year. STS has a second version (#1067) which is virtually the same count (K2, A10, R2, W16, K2, Y6, K2, G46, K2) but replaces blue with azure & brown with black. So close that is has not been included. This count doubled to show sett. Colour explanation from John Fitzpatrick July 2008. Green for trhe evergreens, brown for the farmlands, yellow for the sunlight and the autumn colouring of the birch and poplar leaves, white for the snows, red for the sdunsets, blue for the waters of Loch Lomodn astop Mt McKay, black for the roads that lead to the Nor'Westers.
