About the issue

Take it from me, life is all about perspective. Attitude. And – in my case – altitude! From way up here, we giraffes can see the path forward. We rise to the occasion, ready for whatever is to come. And we’ll most certainly stick our necks out when someone needs help.

You can give Canadian children and youth these same advantages through the Canada Post Community Foundation semi-postal fundraising stamp. Your donation of 10 cents from this Official First Day Cover – and $1 from each booklet of 10 stamps – goes directly to the Foundation to fund local and national non-profit groups with programs that assist Canadian children and youth and help them gain a better outlook on the future. So stand tall like me, knowing you’ve helped prepare them for all the amazing experiences that lie ahead.

About the design

This year’s Official First Day Cover, designed by Paprika and illustrated by Anne-Julie Dudemaine, depicts a supportive community of giraffes and highlights the importance of providing every child the opportunity to thrive in a supportive and enriching environment.

Playful and original typography, designed specifically for the stamp issue, signifies what childhood should be for every child—lighthearted and carefree.
