On July 8th, 2010, Canada Post began issuing a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the founding of the Girl Guides of Canada. At a Boy Scout rally in Great Britain in 1909, many girls showed up and demanded to be admitted to the club. A girl’s chapter of the Scouts was established by Agnes Baden-Powell in Britain, with one soon to follow in Canada.
Continuing in its new tradition of stamps commemorating Canadian roadside attractions, on July 5th, 2010, Canada Post began issuing a series of stamps featuring four more out-of-the-ordinary sign posts. This year we visit the Coffee Pot of Davidson, SK; the Happy Rock of Gladstone, MB; the steel Wawa Goose, and the giant Puffin of Longue-Pointe-de-Mingan, QC.
