CANADA POST cover shows a set of four Canadian postage stamps issued in 2016, featuring prehistoric animals:
- Acrotholus audeti: A dome-headed dinosaur.
- Comox Valley elasmosaur: A marine reptile.
- Cypretherium coarctatum: An ancient mammal.
- An unidentified dinosaur
These stamps were part of the "Dinos of Canada" series, highlighting prehistoric creatures that once roamed Canada. The stamps had a 3-D-like design, making the animals appear to break through the stamp's boundaries.
A semi-postal stamp issued in 2015 for the Canada Post Community Foundation illustrated the theme "Storytelling and the Freedom to Pretend". The stamp depicted two children under a makeshift tent made of a sheet, with one reading to the other. The "+10" on the stamp indicates a surcharge, with the extra funds going to the Canada Post Community Foundation to support children's charities. It was designed by Lionel Gadoury and illustrated by Marie-Eve Tremblay.
Canadian postage stamps issued in 2013 showcased two magnolia hybrids: "Yellow Bird" (yellow) and "Eskimo" (white with a hint of lavender). These varieties were specifically developed to withstand the Canadian climate.
