About Stamp

NORTHERN LIGHTS
Aurora borealis, or northern lights, is a display of multicoloured lights appearing |in day or night skies in the northern hemisphere. The display of light can vary greatly in intensity, take an indefinite number of shapes, and span a range of colours from green to pale yellow to deep red. A prime spot for viewing these 'dancing lights' is on the north shore of Great Slave Lake in Yellowknife, Northwest Territories.

CANADA ON DISPLAY
This stamp was designed by Bradbury Design of Regina, with Catharine Bradbury as design principal and Karin Uusikorpi as associate designer. The challenge of this stamp lay in promoting the diversity and beauty of Canadian tourist attractions in an appealing and effective manner. Aimed at American and international communities, the stamp showcases the talents of the photographer, who set out to capture the essence of this attraction.
