NOTICE

With much of the country experiencing the typical frosty conditions this time of year, we hope our Women in Winter Sports issue will warm you up with pride. Remembering the incredible achievements of these six amazing athletes give us reason to sing praises for our country and remind us that anything is possible with a little ice or snow and a lot of talent. Speaking of achievements, this year’s Black History issue honours two remarkable Canadians: Lincoln M. Alexander, first Black Canadian elected to

the House of Commons and appointed to the federal Cabinet, and Kathleen (Kay) Livingstone, prominent activist and humanitarian.

Happy collecting – and keep warm!

Giving gifts of money in red envelopes is a popular Chinese custom of sending loved ones good wishes for a safe and peaceful lunar New Year.

The colour of the envelope is much more significant than what’s inside. Receiving money wrapped in red paper is considered a blessing that brings happiness and good luck. Just remember not to open the gift in front of the giver – it’s impolite.

WOMEN IN WINTER SPORTSIssue date: January 24, 2018

As our best winter athletes prepare to compete in 2018, Canada Post is issuing a set of five stamps to celebrate the achievements of six amazing Canadian superstars who topped the podium in a variety of winter sports.

The six athletes honoured are Shirley and Sharon Firth, who amassed a combined 79 medals and competed in four consecutive Olympic Winter Games; Sonja Gaudet, the world’s most decorated wheelchair curler, who played lead for Canada’s gold-medal -winning team at the past three Paralympic Winter Games; Danielle Goyette, a driving force on Canada’s National Women’s Hockey Team for 16 seasons, who won Olympic gold twice;

Nancy Greene, named Canada’s female athlete of the 20th century, with 13 international victories and two overall titles, plus two Olympic medals; and speed skater Clara Hughes, the only Olympian to win multiple medals at the Winter and Summer Games.

In depicting Canadian women powerhouses in winter sports, Subplot’s design team set out to create a look that, according to creative director Roy White,

“would celebrate the joy, endurance and dedication that has gone into their illustrious achievements over their careers.” Each stamp features a duotone portrait of the athlete in a moment of celebration, as well as a full-colour, freeze-frame action shot representing a defining moment in her career.

Issued on the first day of Black History Month, these stamps recognize the contributions of two prominent, ground-breaking Canadians.

Kathleen (Kay) Livingstone (1918-75)A long-time Toronto resident, Kathleen Livingstone was an activist, humanitarian and popular radio host devoted to the empowerment of Black women. She founded the Canadian Negro Women’s Association in the 1950s and, in 1975, launched the Congress of Black Women of Canada – now a nationwide organization. In 2011, she was named a Person of National Historic Significance by the Government of Canada.

“We are thrilled that people will learn not only about her efforts but also about the kind of person she was: a mother who served her family and a humanitarian who served her people, her city and her country,” says her daughter, Rene Livingstone.

“She did it generously and she did it well.”

Lincoln M. Alexander (1922-2012)Toronto-born Lincoln MacCauley Alexander had a distinguished career as a public servant and became a leader in the fight for racial equality. He was the first Black Canadian to be elected to the House of Commons (1968), appointed to the federal Cabinet (1979) and named to a viceregal position in Canada,

Both stamps, designed by Winnipeg-based Tétro, evoke the personal strength of these great Canadians

through historic photographs. “The images selected capture a moment that is both internally reflective and formidable,” says designer Paul Tétrault. “The gold metallic glow pays tribute to their visionary influence and trailblazing achievements.”
