CANADA POST TO HONOUR QUEEN'S 80th BIRTHDAY WITH THREE STAMPS
CANADA POST TO HONOUR QUEEN'S 80th BIRTHDAY WITH THREE STAMPS
Canada Post has released information about three stamps to be issued in 2006 to comemorate Her Majesty's 80th birthday. The first, a 51 cent definitive stamp, will be issued on January 12. It features a photograph of the Queen taken during Her Majesty's 2002 Golden Jubilee Tour in Canada and the words "Happy Birthday April 21, 1926/Joyeux anniversaire 21 avril 1926". The new celebratory definitive will be larger than normal domestic rate definitive formats. The new stamp will be self-adhesive and available in booklets of 10. The booklet cover features six photos of the Queen spanning the years from her youth to the present. The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada website contains a picture of the domestic stamp at: http://www.rpsc.org/images/2006-0112.jpg The last Canadian (international rate) postage stamp that carried the Queen's image (a commemorative, not a definitive, stamp) was the 15-cent stamp (paired with an 8-cent domestic-rate stamp) issued for the Commonwealth Heads of Government Meeting in Canada in 1973. http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/ap/s/s000662k.jpg http://data2.collectionscanada.ca/ap/s/s000663k.jpg Blair |

The other two stamps are supposed to be $1.49 values (international rate) to be issued on April 21, 2006 in a souvenir sheet. I have seen no details yet about the stamps or the souvenir sheet. Blair |
