(Permanent™) Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga – Torngat Mountains National Park – Photo: Michael Winsor
Tongait KakKasuangita SilakKijapvinga (pronounced Toon-gite Hak-ha-suang-eeta See-lack-hee-yup-veenga) – Torngat Mountains National Park – on the northern tip of Labrador, is named for the Inuktitut word tongait, which means place of spirits. Visitors can enjoy beautiful vistas of mountains, small glaciers and dramatic fjords and may catch a glimpse of polar bears, caribou and whales. Inuit still hunt, fish and travel the area, as their ancestors did for thousands of years.

(Permanent™) Tehjeh Deé (South Nahanni River), Nááts'įhch'oh National Park Reserve (NT) – Photo: Colin Field
The South Nahanni River (Tehjeh Deé, pronounced Teh-jeh Day) is a leading destination for canoeing, kayaking and rafting. The river boasts sections of challenging whitewater and spectacular views of wilderness and wildlife. The river, which is protected by the Nááts'įhch'oh National Park Reserve (a traditional homeland of the Dene), is navigable from June to September. [Nááts'įhch'oh is pronounced Nats-inch-oh(n)] Those travelling the river’s length typically begin at Virginia Falls or Rabbitkettle Lake, with trips lasting a week or two.

(Permanent™) Sunflowers, Altona (MB) – Photo: Mike Grandmaison
Manitoba is Canada’s largest producer of sunflowers. Oilseed sunflowers are used for bird feed and crushed to make sunflower oil, while confection-type sunflowers are used for snacks and cooking. For 60 years, Altona has hosted the annual Manitoba Sunflower Festival – a celebration of the province’s sunflower industry.

(Permanent™) Galiano Island (BC) – Photo: James Stevenson
One of the Gulf Islands, Galiano Island is situated closest to Vancouver on the west side of the Georgia Strait. Approximately 27 kilometres long and 6 kilometres wide (at its widest point), the island has a population of approximately 1,000 people. The island boasts stunning scenic vistas, ancient forests, rocky heights, sand and pebble beaches, and sandstone caves (like the one shown on the stamp).

(Permanent™) Abbaye de Saint-Benoît-du-Lac (QC) – Photo: Ladislas Kadyszewski
The abbey was founded on the shores of Lac Memphrémagog in 1912 by a community of monks from Europe. The bell tower, completed in 1962, is a notable landmark in the region. The monastery is open to visitors, who can enjoy a guided tour, go apple picking and purchase products that the community crafts to support itself, including cheese, cider, fruit compotes and CDs of sacred music recorded by the monks
