This stamp has a hidden date on the water in the bottom-right corner of the stamp.
The designer's initials can be found above the water near the front of the canoe. The initials LH belongs to Laurence Hyde.
The four stamps, all blue in colour, feature a variety of outdoor recreational activities that may be enjoyed in Canada. For the first time in Canada, postage stamps in sheets were issued in se-tenant designs. The purpose was a practical measure to provide even the smallest class of post offices with all four designs of the stamps without a great sortation problem.
