About Stamp

PEGGY'S COVE
This uniquely rugged fishing community of fewer than 100 inhabitants is centred around a narrow ocean inlet in St. Margaret's Bay, 52 kilometres southeast of Halifax. Settlement dates back to the early 1800s, when fishermen first used the cove as a port. The famous lighthouse on Peggy's Cove has become a symbol of Atlantic Canada.

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.
