It’s no small secret that travelling Canadians sew the iconic maple leaf on backpacks and luggage. But our desire to show our pride begins at home where Canadians from across the country display our colours in ways limited only by imagination. In this year’s set of five Permanent™ domestic-rate definitives, our flag proudly adorns the everyday activities of Canadians.
Smith’s designs not only span the country geographically, but also show a broad cross-section of Canadian activities. The set of five stamps features essentially Canadian scenes with our flag uniquely displayed. In one, three Muskoka chairs lounge on a dock facing a lake in early fall, evoking Canadian cottages from coast to coast. The chairs reappear on the souvenir sheet, this time with the puffy, whimsical clouds of summer dotting the sky. The fall colours are recalled by the golden hue of a very Canadian hay bale that waits in a prairie field at harvest time. On the East Coast, just outside Halifax, a spinnaker fills with a summer breeze representing the Canadian sails and flags that fill our waterways each season. This same spinnaker is shown again on the OFDC, this time with an iconic East Coast lighthouse in the background. During Canada Day celebrations in Winnipeg more than 3,000 patriotic Canadians gather on the lawn of the provincial legislature to form a living flag, challenging a record held by Victoria, British Columbia. Finally, a lone fishing hut brings a splash of colour on a clear day to a frozen Lake Scugog, Ontario.
