Artwork completed in 2004

On the sixtieth anniversary of D-Day, Canada
Post issued a single domestic rate (49 cent)
stamp to coincide with memorials across the
country.
'We have a slightly different focus for the
sixtieth anniversary stamp,' said Bill Danard,
Manager of Stamp Products. 'Our visual imaging
for this stamp concentrates on the initial
landings and the Juno Beach sectors of the
Normandy coastline. We're specifically honouring
those Canadian troops who participated in the
June 6 operation.'
