Since the start of the new year, we ve launched our first four issues during celebrations across the country. Kicking things off were signing sessions in Toronto and Vancouver for our spectacular Year of the Dog stamps and a star-studded celebration at Canada s Sports Hall of Fame in Calgary honouring the incredible athletes in our Women in Winter Sports issue. For Black History Month, we paid homage to two groundbreaking Canadians at a series of special events and, more recently, we unveiled an eye-catching set featuring the work of five accomplished Canadian illustrators at OCAD University in Toronto. And it s still a hive of activity around here. In this issue of Details, you ll get the buzz on a new commemorative that will join the international celebration marking the 65 th anniversary of Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II s coronation. And a pair of pollinators are waiting in the wings to make their philatelic debut. Jim Phillips, Director, Stamp Services P.S.
