Calgary Stampede, Canada

This was an absolute surprise in my mailbox from dear Bryon! Amazing mini-sheet, thanks so much :)) This issue from 2012 celebrates the 100th anniversary of Calgary Stampede, an annual rodeo, exhibition and festival held every July and lasting 10 days. Must be a fun event :)

RMS Titanic100th Anniversary Commemoration, Canada

As many involved in postcrossing know already, this year was 100th anniversary commemoration of the most famous sunken ship RMS Titanic. This great set of stamps shows us both the front (bow, top two) and the back (stern, bottom two) of the ship. Also, they have been cancelled in Halifax, the city in Canada that played a major role in retrieval of the bodies after the tragic event, as the closest city to the sinking with direct rail and steamship connections.

Many thanks to Maryam!
