Canada Post and Canadian Flag

Canada: The stamp is a flapping Canadian flag and will sell for five dollars, according to Brandon Sun. THE CANADIAN PRESS/HO-Canada Post TORONTO - The post office is celebrating Canada Day by highlighting its first stamp made from fabric, depicting a flapping Canadian flag. They say it is the first stamp in Canada to be made of cloth. Canada Post created the large, nine by 14 centimetre stamp as the Maple Leaf flag marked its 50th anniversary earlier this year. While the stamps can be used as regular postage, they are aimed at collectors and those looking for a unique souvenir to showcase Canadian pride. Made from rayon, the stamp features a three-dimensional image of the Canadian flag and provides $5 in postage. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
