Bryan Trottier
Six-time Stanley Cup® winner and member of Canada’s Sports Hall of Fame, Bryan Trottier (b. 1956 in Val Marie, Saskatchewan) is widely regarded as one of hockey’s greats.

Trottier – who is Cree, Métis, Chippewa and Irish – co-founded the Aboriginal Alumni Hockey Team and has visited communities across Canada, offering clinics and mentorship to young people.

Edward Lennie
Known as the Father of the Northern Games, Charles Edward Inglangasak Lennie (1934-2020) dedicated his life to promoting and preserving Arctic sports. He helped found the Northern Games and successfully advocated for Arctic sports to be showcased at the inaugural Arctic Winter Games. Lennie coached athletes in eight traditional events, including the kneel jump, the two-foot high kick and the arm pull.

Chief Wilton Littlechild
A former member of Parliament and commissioner of the Truth and Reconciliation Commission of Canada, Jacob Wilton “Willie” Littlechild, c.c. (b. 1944 in Hobbema [Maskwacis], Alberta) helped draft the United Nations Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples and the American Declaration on the Rights of Indigenous Peoples, and to secure Indigenous rights, including treaty rights, in Canada’s constitution. Inducted into several sports halls of fame, he worked to establish the National Indian Athletic Association, the North American Indigenous Games and the World Indigenous Nations Games.

About the stamp series
Launched in 2022, the series highlights the contributions of modern-day First Nations, Inuit and Métis leaders who have dedicated their lives to preserving their culture and improving the quality of life of Indigenous Peoples in Canada.

Honourees represent First Nations, Métis and Inuit communities from different regions of the country and are chosen in consultation with the Assembly of First Nations, the Métis National Council and Inuit Tapiriit Kanatami.

About the stamps
The stamp designs pair powerful portraiture with evocative landscapes and imagery tied to each honouree’s life: Trottier’s focused gaze contrasts with a photo of him proudly lifting the Stanley Cup®, framed by a prairie landscape that anchors his success to his Saskatchewan roots; Lennie’s dignified portrait is paired with an image of the one-foot high kick set against a sweeping Arctic landscape, reflecting his heritage and the traditions he championed; Chief Littlechild appears in his signature cowboy hat beside young athletes with Alberta’s rolling hills behind him, highlighting both his homeland and impact on future generations.

The stamps are designed by Tétro, featuring photography by: Bruce Bennett | Getty Images and background imagery by Branimir Gjetvaj (Bryan Trottier); Inuvialuit Communications Society and the Lennie family with background imagery by C Cormier | Shutterstock.com (Edward Lennie); and Cole Burston | Getty Images and background imagery by Vadim Gouida | Adobe Stock (Chief Wilton Littlechild).

The cancellation sites are Val Marie, Saskatchewan (birthplace of Bryan Trottier), Inuvik, Northwest Territories (where Edward Lennie spent much of his life), and Maskwacis, Alberta (birthplace of Chief Wilton Littlechild).

The stamps and collectibles will be available at canadapost.ca and at select postal outlets across Canada beginning on June 19.

New stamps from Canada Post celebrate Quebec’s sugar shacks
Rooted in Quebec’s history and identity, the sugaring-off season comes to life in an illustrated stamp issue.

MONTRÉAL – Maple taffy in sticky little hands. The lively strains of a fiddle playing and spoons tapping. The comforting taste of hot pea soup. This spring, just as the scents, sounds and tastes of the season come to life at sugar shacks, Canada Post is issuing two stamps in the form of maple syrup cans. Unveiled today in Montréal at the Cabane Panache Festival, the stamps celebrate sugaring-off season and pay tribute to Quebec’s iconic sugar shacks.

Traditions that transcend generations
The traditions surrounding sugaring-off season are so important in Quebec that they are officially part of the province’s intangible heritage. Indigenous Peoples of the Eastern Woodlands, including the W8banakiak (Abenakis), the Anishinaabeg (Anishinabe), the Haudenosaunee (Iroquois) and the Mi’gmaq (Mi’kmaq) were producing maple products long before the arrival of European settlements. They shared their ancestral knowledge with early French colonists, who adapted their methods over time.

In the 1850s, the forerunners of modern sugar shacks began to appear – small shelters where maple sap was boiled, and that became social gathering places. A significant part of syrup production has been automated since then, and although sugar bushes have grown in size, artisanal techniques are still in practice.

Today, Quebec produces 90% of Canada’s maple syrup and over 70% of global production.

About the stamps
The stamps, booklet and Official First Day Cover (OFDC) are the work of illustrator Gérard DuBois and graphic design firm Paprika. Inspired by popular, commercial and advertising art from the 1940s and 1950s, the illustrations evoke colourful scenes of people enjoying shared meals and time outside. They portray the sugar shack as a place of gathering, enjoyment and tradition.

This stamp issue includes a booklet of six Permanent™ domestic rate stamps and an OFDC. Both are available at canadapost.ca and at retail outlets across the country. The OFDC bears a maple leaf cancellation in Saint-Georges, a Quebec city where the Festival beauceron de l’érable is held every year.

New stamp issue marks Eid, celebrated by more than 1.5 million Muslims in Canada
Canada Post is proud to mark Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha with uniquely Canadian Muslim design

VANCOUVER – Canada Post issued new stamps March 10^th to mark two of the most important holidays in Islam: Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha.

The three-stamp issue incorporates stylized maple leaves into a traditional Islamic pattern to reflect Canada’s cultural diversity and inclusivity. Featuring the same design in different colour palettes, the stamps honour the significance of Eid for Muslim communities across the country.

Patterns of beauty and symbolism
Mesmerizing designs inspired by mathematics and nature are a hallmark of Islamic ornamentation. Infinitely expandable arrangements of interlacing circles and polygons are traditionally created with a compass and straightedge. Stylized floral and vegetal motifs are often weaved through these patterns, which vary across regions and eras.

The rhythm and symmetry of these patterns invite contemplation of the spiritual and natural worlds. The designs also add beauty and symbolism to Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, appearing as decorations in mosques and homes, and on lanterns and greeting cards.

Eid celebrations in March and May
Eid al-Fitr, or the Festival of Breaking the Fast, marks the end of Ramadan. The month of fasting, which is observed from sunrise to sunset, is one of the most distinctive practices in Islam. This year, Eid al-Fitr takes place in March.

Eid al-Adha, or the Festival of Sacrifice, marks the end of the Hajj pilgrimage, in which millions of Muslims journey to one of the holiest sites in Islam – the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. Also called Eid al-Kabir or the Greater of the Two Eids, the festival happens this year in May.

Celebrated by more than 1.5 million Muslims in Canada, both events can last several days and include communal prayers and feasts, visits with family, gift-giving and acts of charity.

The Eid issue is one of several stamps released by Canada Post each year to mark annual celebrations that are important to Canada’s culturally diverse population – others include Diwali, Hanukkah and Christmas.

About the stamps
This stamp issue was designed by Paprika and printed by Colour Innovations. It includes a booklet of six Permanent™ domestic rate stamps and an Official First Day Cover [below]cancelled in Vancouver, British Columbia, home to a large and diverse Muslim-Canadian population.

Annual Flower Stamp Issue Features Delicate Blossoms of Ornamental Cherry Trees
Bestselling issue often used for wedding stationery, popular among Canadian gardeners

VANCOUVER – A joyful sign of spring, cherry blossoms create spectacular canopies of colour during their blooming season. The fragrant flowers leave behind a delicate carpet of petals, symbolic of beauty and the transience of life. Cherry trees, both wild and cultivated, are found in many parts of the world, and many are native to the Northern Hemisphere.

This stamp issue features two cherry blossom cultivars. Prunus ‘Kanzan’, cold-hardy and with large deep-pink double flowers, is one of the most popular Japanese cherry cultivars for blossom viewing in North America and Europe. Shrouded in clusters of white to pale-pink petals, the prolific?Prunus?‘Somei-yoshino’ is the focus of celebrations across Japan and other parts of East Asia.

In Japan, sakura (as cherry blossoms are called) are the inspiration for national celebrations. In Canada, dazzling displays can be found along city streets and in many parks and gardens across the country. Vancouver boasts thousands of specimens and hosts one of the country’s largest cherry blossom festivals.

About the stamp design
The two stamps feature original photographs of the cherry blossoms taken at the Nitobe Memorial Garden at the University of British Columbia in Vancouver. The stamps are designed by Belisle Creative, featuring photography by Brett Hitchins, and printed by Lowe-Martin. The issue includes a booklet of 10 Permanent™ stamps, a coil of 50 stamps, a souvenir sheet and an Official First Day Cover cancelled in Vancouver.

Les timbres floraux de cette année mettent en vedette les délicates fleurs de cerisiers ornementaux
L’émission annuelle sur les fleurs est toujours très prisée pour les faire-part de mariage, en plus d’être appréciée des adeptes de jardinage.

VANCOUVER – Signes du printemps, les fleurs de cerisier forment des canopées colorées spectaculaires. Ces fleurs parfumées, qui laissent derrière elles un délicat tapis de pétales, symbolisent la beauté et le caractère éphémère de la vie. On trouve une grande variété d’espèces sauvages et cultivées de cerisiers dans de nombreuses régions du monde, et plusieurs sont indigènes de l’hémisphère Nord.

Cette émission met en vedette deux cultivars de cerisiers. Résistant au froid et prisé en raison de ses grandes fleurs doubles rose foncé, le Prunus ?Kanzan? est  l’un des cultivars japonais les plus populaires en Amérique du Nord et en Europe. Couvert de grappes de fleurs blanches ou rose pâle, le prolifique Prunus ?Somei-yoshino? est la vedette de célébrations au Japon et ailleurs en Asie de l’Est.

Appelées sakura au Japon, les fleurs de cerisier inspirent des célébrations nationales. Au Canada, on peut admirer le spectacle en bordure de rues et dans bon nombre de parcs et de jardins. Vancouver abrite des milliers de spécimens et tient l’un des plus grands festivals de cerisiers en fleurs du pays.

À propos des timbres
Les deux timbres sont ornés de photos originales de fleurs de cerisier prises au Nitobe Memorial Garden de l’Université de la Colombie-Britannique à Vancouver. Imprimés par Lowe-Martin, ils sont conçus par Belisle Creative et présentent des photographies de Brett Hitchins. L’émission comprend un carnet de 10 timbres PermanentsMC, un rouleau de 50 timbres, un bloc-feuillet et un pli Premier Jour officiel oblitéré à Vancouver.

New stamp set pays tribute to hip-hop trailblazers Maestro Fresh Wes, Michie Mee and Muzion
This year’s Black History Month stamps celebrate early hip-hop in Canada

TORONTO – On January 28, 2026, Canada Post unveiled a new Black History Month stamp set celebrating the vibrant roots of hip-hop in Canada. The stamps pay tribute to three of the country’s most dynamic hip-hop trailblazers – Maestro Fresh Wes, Michie Mee and Muzion. Each of the artists is recognized for helping to shape the genre in Canada, while infusing the music with a uniquely Canadian sound.

Maestro Fresh Wes
With his 1989 debut album Symphony in Effect, Maestro Fresh Wes (b. Wesley Williams, 1968) became the first Canadian MC to break into the mainstream. The album’s monster hit single “Let Your Backbone Slide” was the first Canadian rap song to go gold, while the album itself went platinum. In 1991, the JUNO Awards introduced a new category, Best Rap Recording – Symphony in Effect took the win. Over his career, Maestro released nine studio albums and became an author, actor and motivational speaker. In 2024, he was inducted into the Canadian Music Hall of Fame and received the Governor General’s Performing Arts Award for Lifetime Artistic Achievement.

Michie Mee
Michie Mee (b. Michelle McCullock, 1970) was Canada’s first hip-hop superstar and built a reputation for continually pushing boundaries. The iconic MC exploded onto the scene in the late 1980s and was among the first to bring Jamaican Patois into her rhymes. In 1987, she released her debut single “Elements of Style,” which was an instant hit. A year later, she became the first Canadian MC to sign with a major U.S. label. In 1991, she released her first album, Jamaican Funk – Canadian Style, which combined rap with dancehall and reggae. Later that decade, she joined Raggadeath, a group known for fusing heavy metal and reggae.

Muzion
Hailing from Montréal, Muzion brought a distinct sound to the world of hip-hop, layering French, English and Haitian Creole into their music. The group was formed in 1996 by MCs J.Kyll (Jenny Salgado), Imposs (Stanley Salgado), and Dramatik (Jocelyn Bruno). Their two albums Mentalité moune morne… (Ils n’ont pas compris) (1999) and J’rêvolutionne (2002) received multiple honours, including Félix Awards for Hip-Hop Album of the Year. Their hit single “La vi ti nèg” won a 2004 Canadian Urban Music Award. Muzion’s influence stretched into the wider culture. The trio, who were all born to Haitian parents, helped empower marginalized communities to see themselves as integral to the fabric of Quebec and Canada.

About the stamps
This stamp set is a shout-out to the vibrant roots of hip-hop in Canada. The titles are crafted using varied type sizes, echoing the rhythmic nature of hip-hop’s sound. Printed with fluorescent inks that glow under black light, metallic silver and black duotone portraits, and layered matte and gloss varnishes, these stamps evoke the bold, nostalgic aesthetic of the late 1980s and early 1990s.

The stamps were designed by Noël Nanton and Nadia Molinari of typotherapy. Various photographs were used in this set: Maestro Fresh Wes – Wellington Williams; background – Edward James Rissling. Michie Mee – Getty Images; background – Rick McGinnis. Muzion – Brigitte Henry; background – Marie-Michèle Bouchard.

The issue, which was printed by Lowe-Martin, includes six Permanent™ stamps and three Official First Day Covers. The cancel sites are Toronto for Maestro Fresh Wes and Michie Mee, and Montréal for Muzion.

OTTAWA – Today Canada Post announced its 2026 stamp lineup, which features several milestones, people and cultural events that have helped define Canadian identity.

Here are some highlights:

• Next year’s annual Black History Month stamp dives into the careers and achievements of Canadian hip-hop pioneers.

  Individually, the stamps tell their own rich stories. Collectively, they paint a bigger picture of what makes Canada special. The independent Stamp Advisory Committee recommends subjects for the annual program, and members rely on thoughtful input from groups and individuals to choose subjects that capture important themes and histories that reflect the shared values of Canadians nationwide.
