5. Endangered Frogs Stamps (Release: April 15th, 2024)
The survival of the Fowler's toad (Anaxyrus Fowleri) and Oregon spotted frog (Rana pretiosa), like that of most amphibians, depends on water habitats as well as terrestrial ones. Their home is limited to only two places in Canada. These animals have found themselves on the edge of extinction, and the reason for it is their habitat loss.
This is caused by air pollution as well as some other species invading their territories. Besides, humans are damaging them with their industrial and camping activities. There are just some tiny and dispersed populations left that urgently require our involvement. Otherwise, these frogs would disappear from our planet.
6. Community Foundation Stamp and Postcard (Release: April 29th, 2024)
Grants from the Canadian Post Community Foundation are given to different charities and schools in Canada to improve children's and young people's lives. A dollar from every postcard and 10 cents from every stamp shall be annually donated to nonprofit organizations. Since its inception in 2012, the program has already helped 1,100 organizations dealing with kids' and teenagers' problems.
7. Far and Wide Stamp Series (Release: May 6th, 2024)
The multi-year Far and Wide series features fascinating photos of Canada's natural grandeur, from an Arctic sea arch shaped like a big pair of pants to an unending plains horizon of dazzling yellow sunflowers. You'll definitely feel more adventurous after receiving these stamps and be able to add some sights to your itinerary. This is the fourth edition series which debuted in 2017.
8. Canada’s Iconic Graphic Novelists (Release: May 10th, 2024)
