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.
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.
Face value PERMANENT™ domestic rate $0.63
