About the Organ and Tissue Donation issue

Canada faces a severe shortage of organ and tissue donors, with over 4,400 people awaiting transplants. Sadly, less than one-third of Canadians are registered donors. To address this issue, these stamps aim to raise awareness and inspire more Canadians to become organ and tissue donors. The "Give Life" slogan, used by Canadian Blood Services, emphasizes the urgency of this cause.

About the Eid issue

Canada Post celebrates Canada's cultural diversity with a special stamp honouring two significant Islamic festivals, Eid al-Fitr and Eid al-Adha, observed by over a million Muslims in Canada. These festivals span several days, featuring communal prayers, festive feasts, family gatherings, gift exchanges, and acts of charity. The 2022 Eid stamp is the fourth in Canada Post's series, following editions in 2017, 2020, and 2021. It's part of a collection of annual releases recognizing events important to Canada's diverse population, such as Diwali, Hanukkah, and Christmas.

About the Salome Bey issue

Canada Post honours Salome Bey, Canada's "First Lady of the Blues," with a commemorative stamp celebrating her life and contributions as an award-winning singer-songwriter, composer, and actress. She was a prominent figure in Canadian music and a mentor to emerging Black artists. Her legacy reflects the diverse and impactful contributions of Canadian musicians. As a member of Artists Against Racism, she advocated for young Black artists.

About the Endangered Whales issue

This stamp issue celebrates Canada's beautiful and diverse whales while raising awareness about challenges faced by five species, some officially designated as Endangered by the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC). Canada's wildlife draws global visitors eager to witness these magnificent creatures in their natural habitats, and the featured species are the blue whale, beluga whale, killer whale, northern bottlenose whale, and the critically endangered North Atlantic right whale.

About the Vintage Travel Posters issue

This stamp collection showcases five vintage travel advertisements with a unique artistic style. These ads were key in promoting Canada as a tourist destination in the early 20th century, contributing to the flourishing era of commercial art. They pay homage to Canada's historical legacy as a beloved tourist hotspot, capturing the essence of a bygone era and igniting our adventurous spirit.

About the Indigenous Leaders' issue

This stamp is a part of the inaugural three-stamp Indigenous Leaders issue, shining a spotlight on the remarkable contributions of Harry Daniels, Jose Kisugak, and Chief Marie-Anne Day Walker-Pelletier. Canada Post's dedication to recognizing Indigenous leaders, artists, and politicians who have made enduring and positive impacts on Canadian society is a testament to our commitment to honouring their legacies.
