Description

Overview
The 2022 Holiday Birds Souvenir Sheet captures the warmth and charm of winter with three exquisite Canada Post stamps. Designed by Hambly & Woolley Inc. and illustrated by Sandra Dionisi, each stamp portrays a bird that graces Canadian landscapes during the colder months—the Northern Cardinal, Blue Jay, and Evening Grosbeak. These birds bring colour, life, and symbolism to a season known for reflection and togetherness.

Featured Birds & Meanings

Northern Cardinal (Permanent™ domestic rate) – Recognized for its striking red feathers, the cardinal is a symbol of love, devotion, and resilience in winter.
Blue Jay (U.S. rate) – Known for its intelligence and loyalty, the blue jay embodies courage and communication.
Evening Grosbeak (International rate) – A bird of companionship and harmony, the grosbeak is often associated with peace and joy during the holidays.

Design & Collectibility
The souvenir sheet presents all three stamps together in a festive arrangement, making it a sought-after item for philatelists. With only 50,000 souvenir sheets issued, it is a limited-edition release, enhancing its long-term collectible value. Each stamp is printed in vivid lithography, ensuring crisp details and rich colours that stand out in any album or framed display.

Usage & Seasonal Appeal
Beyond its collector’s value, this souvenir sheet is functional postage. The Permanent™ domestic rate stamp is ideal for mailing Christmas cards within Canada, the U.S. rate for American recipients, and the International rate for friends and family abroad. Including all three rates in one sheet makes it practical for holiday correspondence while also being a conversation piece.
