It’s hard to believe that another year has almost
come and gone. Right now, we’re finalizing some
stamp issues for 2020, and we’re well on our way to
creating an amazing 2021 stamp program.
This year ends with festive designs; a traditional
Christmas stamp focusing on the Magi, a shiny-and-
bright holiday trio, and a new Hanukkah stamp to
celebrate the Festival of Lights.
We also commemorate Louis Riel’s defence of
Métis rights 150 years ago and how it paved the way
of Manitoba’s entry into Confederation. From left to right: André Ménard, Co-Founder and
