The second in this stamp series, these stamps are as fun and whimsical as the attractions they celebrate.
This year, as we continue our east-bound journey down the TransCanada Highway, the attractions are just as warm and welcoming.
We continue east into Quebec, taking in the breathtaking scenery of the province’s Côte‑Nord region, when we come upon another town that finds pride in the winged creatures that frequent it: Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan. This time we’re greeted by a giant Atlantic Puffin—a tribute to the charismatic seabirds that live in colonies around the town’s shores.
