February's Millenium souvenir sheets continue the tribute to the wide range of Canadian people, events and institutions that have helped shape our nation. This third release - the second last in the series - presents such individuals as philosopher Northrop Frye and "Plouffe Family" author Roger Lemelin and celebrates the spirit and vision of Canadian philanthropy. Aboriginal contributions to peace, healing and sport are featured, as well as Canada's proud heritage in the theatre and popular literature.
The philanthropic tradition that began with tobacco magnate Sir William Macdonald lives on in the Montreal-based Macdonald Stewart Foundation, which has donated millions of dollars to supporting cultural and historical initiatives, medicine and education.
