DEAR
COLLECTORS
2017 is going to be
a big year
Fans browse Star Trek™ 50 th anniversary
stamps during Ottawa Comiccon,
May 13-15, 2016.
Here are some of the stamps we’re working on right
now for Canada’s 150th birthday.
First, we’ll wrap up the UNESCO World Heritage
Sites series with a final year of definitives, crow about
the Year of the Rooster and honour Black History
month with a stamp featuring Mathieu Da Costa –
thought to be the first African to set foot on Canadian
soil. Our Daisy stamps bloom in March and, in April,
Canada Post will celebrate the 100 th anniversary of
the Battle of Vimy Ridge.
There’s more … like the concluding set in our
Canadian Photography series and the Canadian
Opera issue, which we hope results in a resounding
“bravo!” Plus we’ll skate to the finals with stamps
celebrating the centennial anniversaries of both
the National Hockey League ® and the legendary
Toronto Maple Leafs®.
Perennial favourite s like our Communit y
Foundation stamp and Christmas stamps are still on
the roster and, of course, we’ll be celebrating
Canada’s special year with a few other surprises
along the way.
We think it’s going to be a super sesquicentennial
for stamps (say that three times quickly!).

They’re back! Collectors will shiver in delight (and
maybe even leave a nightlight on) with the release of
the third set in the Haunted Canada series. Once
again, designers Lionel Gadoury and Kammy Ahuja
along with illustrator Sam Weber have evoked the
(dark) arts to bring us five fiendishly frightening
stamps and a fearsome array of collectibles.
Curious about the five tales of terror told in this
issue? Continue reading, if you dare ...
Staff and patrons of the century-old Elgin and
Winter Garden Theatre Centre in Toronto have

from the ghost of a well-dressed Edwardian woman

and a musical spectre named Sam, who tends to hog
the spotlight.
Who knew that Newfoundland and Labrador
was home to a shape-shifting succubus? It’s said
that many a farmer has been scared witless by the
Hag of Bell Island, who appears as a beautiful
maiden to lure her prey into the murky marsh
before transforming into a horrific (and less-thanhospitable) hag.
If you’re approached by the Lady in White of
Montmorency Falls, don’t touch her gown! The
apparition of bride-to-be Mathilde Robin, who

Battle of Montmorency, still guards the virtue of her
wedding dress, meant for his touch alone.
The people of Charlottetown still speak of the
day that a ship’s bell rang out at a local church with
no one around but four women clad in ghostly white.
Were the Phantom Ringers of the Kirk of Saint
James – who disappeared into thin air – forewarning
the deaths of four women who drowned that day in
the sinking of the Fairy Queen steamer?
The cook at a logging camp near the Dungarvon
River reputedly kept his life savings in a money belt
that he wore at all times. That was until one winter
morning, when the loggers returned from the bush
6 D E TA I L S 5 | S E P T E M B E R 2 016
to find him dead on the floor – and his belt nowhere
to be found. Hastily buried in the nearby forest, the
Dungarvon Whooper’s unmerciful cries can still be
heard in the Miramichi area around dusk.
Says designer Lionel Gadoury, “Having been
able to delve into 15 of our nation’s most richly
nuanced tales and bring them to life with master
illustrator Sam Weber has been a thrill like no other.
All things must come to an end, but our fascination
with the unknown is eternal. I hope Canadians
and collectors are inspired by this final set and take
time to share their own haunted tales with family
and friends.”

COMMUNITY
FOUNDATION
Issue date: September 26, 2016
There are times when you need a little push to soar.
That’s exactly what internationally recognized art
director Andrew Lewis was thinking when he created
the adorable little birds that adorn this year’s
semi-postal fundraising stamps for the Canada Post
Community Foundation.
This marks the first time that Canada Post has
issued two differently coloured versions of the
same stamp design for the Foundation’s annual
fundraising campaign – five of each are included in
the booklet of 10. Another first was the decision to
issue two Official First Day Covers.
The Foundation provides funding to local and
national non-profit groups dedicated to serving the
needs of children and youth. The extra dollar paid by
customers for each booklet goes directly to the
Foundation, which recently awarded $1.2 million in
funding to grassroots and community-based child
and youth organizations across the country. Over
the past four years, the Foundation has contributed
approximately $5 million in assistance to libraries,
breakfast programs, anti-bullying initiatives, sports
clubs, and other programs and organizations,
including Kids Help Phone, Big Brothers Big Sisters
of Canada, and Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.
