As an essential service, Canada Post is doing everything it can to ensure the safety of its customers, employees and communities during the COVID-19 pandemic. Since temporary changes have been made to how stamps are distributed to postal outlets, there is no guarantee that new issues will be available at all retail sites. To be sure you don’t miss anything, our online store is ready to take your order at canadapost.ca/shop.

The following changes have also been made over the short term:

• This issue of Details No. 3 is available in digital format only.
• Fewer editions of Details will be published until the COVID-19 crisis has passed.
• Stamp unveiling events will be cancelled for the months of April and May.
• The shipping of April standing orders will be delayed for several weeks.

Shown above: The Eid stamp, issued April 24th without an unveiling event.

Canada Post is also postponing two issues planned for the first half of 2020:

• Legends of Canadian Ballet has been postponed to a later date (to be determined)
• Vintage Travel Posters stamps will now be issued in 2021

Canada Post director of media relations Phil Legault adds that the agency will “provide collectors additional content – and in the case of the Victory in Europe stamp issue, a special video – on the Canada Post Magazine website.”
