Canadian world heritage sites rendered in postage stamp form



Canada Post follows a well-worn tradition in Hollywood by recycling and repackaging past successes. In this case, a stamp series featuring five world heritage sites, previously issued in 2014, will be reprised next month in a new (and lower) denomination.


According to Linn's Stamp News & Insights, Heritage sites featured include Nova Scotia’s Old Town Lunenburg and Landscape of Grand Pre, Alberta’s Head-Smashed-In Buffalo Jump, Ontario’s Rideau Canal and S’Gang Gwaay on Anthony Island off the coast of British Columbia.

With Thailand having issued its own world heritage site stamp series in October, I wonder which country will be next to showcase its cultural and natural heritage in philatelic fashion?
