Inspired by a line in the lyrics of “O Canada”, Canada Post has issued the second set of stamps in the multiyear From Far and Wide series. The series focuses on some of the most breathtaking and memorable must-see locations.

 

The nine definitive stamps, smaller stamps used mainly for mailing, cover off the new 2019 postal rates with five domestic-rate Permanent™ stamps, as well as stamps bearing U.S., International and Oversized rates, plus the single-purchase $1.05 rate.

The 2019 edition of the stamp series offers fascinating views of the following destinations (images of post cards shown):

The issue also includes a souvenir sheet and several other formats for collectors, as well as an Official First Day Cover, cancelled in Mahone Bay, Nova Scotia, the location featured on one of the Permanent stamps.
