Canada Post Pictorial Cancels
Newfoundland 2007


Since 2002, Canada Post has provided pictorial cancels to hundreds of post offices across the nation showcasing community history and events. [Canada Post provides a list of cancels in current use.]

In 2007, I mailed cacheted covers to the Newfoundland post offices which had received pictorial cancels and requested the application of the pictorial cancels. The preparation of the covers provided me the opportunity to learn a great deal about the history of Newfoundland as well as its celebrations.
