Yesterday, November 16 2006, Canada Post issued new stamps to go along with their rate increase. Three sets of non-denominated, definitive stamps were released. The non-denominated stamps bear a new icon, the letter “P” within a maple leaf. This icon is an indication that the stamp is permanent and valid indefinitely.
Included were the Wildflower stamps, which is a popular series that started in 2005. Featured is the Spotted Coralroot that is a member of the orchid family and can be found grows in deeply shaded, wooded areas from Newfoundland to British Columbia. This stamp is available in a coil of 100 stamps.
Also issued were the Flag series stamps. Five designs feature some of Canada’s beautiful scenery and come in both a Booklet of 10 stamps and also a Booklet of 30 stamps. The country’s Flag is shown flying high over scenic locations in: Churchill, Manitoba; Chemainus, British Columbia; Sirmilik National Park, Nunavut; Tuktut Nogait National Park, Northwest Territories; and Bras d’Or Lake, Nova Scotia.
Her Majest is shown in a close portait that was taken during her visit to Saskatchewan in 2005. This trip was her Majesty’s 23rd to Canada. You can find this stamp featured in a Booklet of 10 stamps.
