Booklet contains 10 self-adhesive stamps, which are always valued at the current domestic rate.

Our London 2012 stamp focuses on the sport of rowing, which became an Olympic event when Paris hosted the Games in 1900.

The stamp features a double scull boat, gliding over a sheet of water. (Just in case you’re still brushing up on your rowing terminology, scull means to row with 2 oars, 1 in each hand).

Metallic ink was used to enhance the ripples in the water so it seems to move as light plays across the surface of the stamp.

The bow of the boat appears to be pushing out over the blue edge, making it look like they’re rowing across the finish line.

Canada’s red Maple Leaf appears underneath the boat. The Maple Leaf always evokes national pride and has been included in Olympic team uniforms since 1912.

Rowing is one of Canada’s most successful sports at the Summer Olympics.

At the Beijing 2008 Olympic Games, we picked up four (4) medals—1 Gold, 1 Silver and 2 Bronze. 7

Canadian boats have already qualified for London (as of September 2011), so hopes are high for another batch of medals. Make sure you’re cheering them on during the Games!

The power, skill and determination portrayed in this stamp honors all of Canada’s Olympic athletes who will be striving for a medal in London.
