This stamp features Little Sister’s Book & Art Emporium, the famed Vancouver bookshop that fought a landmark case to protect 2SLGBTQIA+ rights in the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms.
Places of Pride takes us to sites across Canada that 2SLGBTQIA+ people fought to make their own: places of celebration and freedom to be fully oneself, and spaces that nurtured a sense of solidarity that became a catalyst for change.
This issue proudly celebrates the spaces and places across the country that in some way shaped the present and can inspire the future. It highlights the resilience, courage and achievements of 2SLGBTQIA+ communities that have contributed to Canada’s ongoing journey toward inclusivity and equality.
These stamps recognize four vital places for 2SLGBTQIA+ in Canada, from early meeting spots to safe spaces for community organizing. These spaces were often the backdrop to pivotal demonstrations and hosted events that shaped 2SLGBTQIA+ communities across the country.
This issue, designed by Kelly Small at Intents & Purposes Inc. and illustrated by Tim Singleton, captures four landmark locations in rich colour illustration.
Each stamp captures a moment that played a role in advancing 2SLGBTQIA+ rights or recognition.
The Places of Pride stamp issues feature illustrations that capture turning points in the history of the 2SLGBTQIA+ rights movement in Canada.
This year’s issue is designed by Kelly Small of Intents & Purposes Inc., illustrated by Tim Singleton and printed by Lowe-Martin. It includes a booklet of eight Permanent™ domestic rate stamps and four Official First Day Covers whose cancel sites are Toronto for The 519, Saskatoon for Metamorphosis, Vancouver for Little Sister’s, and Halifax for The Turret.
The four stamps shine an important light on these groundbreaking places, the stories behind how they came to be, and the powerful lessons they continue to teach us about the battles for equality and freedom for all.
