Media Advisory - Canada Post is paying tribute to emergency responders with five stamps to be unveiled at events across Canada
OTTAWA, Sept. 4, 2018 /CNW/ - Over five consecutive days starting Monday, September 10, Canada Post will unveil a stamp issue to pay tribute to five groups of Canada's emergency responders. One stamp will be unveiled each day at a separate event across the country to honor a different kind of emergency responder.
The stamps express the respect and gratitude of Canadians to emergency responders, professional and volunteer.
