We recently came across this scarce Canada Post Limited Edition - Souvenir Stamp Pack. Unlisted in the Unitrade Catalogue and apparently given to Capex 78 Organizing Committee as a gift. We don't know the current value, perhaps you could tell us what you think!

Canada Post and free mail to our troops

Once again, Canada Post is doing free mail to the Canadian troops over the Christmas period:

* The Department of National Defence has accepted Canada Post's offer to
provide family and friends of Canadian Forces members serving overseas with
free Regular Parcel and Lettermail service during the upcoming 2010 holiday
season.

* This will be the 5th year that Canada Post offers this service.

* Canada Post will deliver Regular parcels free of charge to designated
Canadian Forces Bases overseas from Monday October 18, 2010 until Friday
