This stamp has "Hopewell Rocks (NB)" micro-printed along the rockface.
Enjoy Canada’s scenic beauty with this stamp featuring New Brunswick’s Hopewell Rocks.
These towering ‘flowerpots’ were formed by millions of years of tide and wind action. Tides in the Bay of Fundy are some of the world’s highest, meaning visitors can walk around the exposed rocks when the tide is low, and paddle among the rocks after 100 billion tons of water rushes back into the bay.
This stamp is one of nine definitive stamps from the first issue in a multi-year series featuring must-see Canadian destinations.
There are so many beautiful places to see across Canada, it’s a constant temptation to pack your bags, hit the road and explore this fabulous country from one end to the other. If that’s not practical, this new definitive stamp series – From Far and Wide – promises to satisfy even the most restless of armchair travelers and inspire all of us to see more of this land first-hand.
According to stamp designer Stéphane Huot, it’s a privilege to work on a stamp series over an extended period of time. He adds, “The challenge is to establish a design platform that can be repeated, but that can also evolve. In the ‘From Far and Wide’ series, the evolution is the result of the images chosen for the background of the souvenir sheet and a strong and distinctive color scheme that establishes the tone for the series.
