Take home this Official First Day Cover (OFDC) from our 2023 Canada Post Community Foundation stamp issue that helps to fund organizations that support Canadian children and youth.

About the issue

Sharing stories enriches our lives in so many ways. Through the Canada Post Community Foundation, we contribute resources that inspire creativity and curiosity, and our annual semi-postal fundraising issue gives you a way to contribute.

About the OFDC design

The theme of this stamp issue is the way in which stories and storytelling enhance the lives of children and youth. The OFDC illustration by John Belisle depicts a diverse group of animals gathering around a fire in the forest to read a story together. It reminds us of the joy that stories and storytelling bring, as well as the creativity and curiosity they inspire. The stamp is cancelled in Ottawa, Ontario.

About the donation

When you purchase the OFDC, a donation of 10 cents from the stamp affixed will go to fund local and national non-profit groups that assist Canadian children and youth in writing the next chapter of their lives. Since 2012, the Canada Post Community Foundation has supported more than 1,100 community organizations that bring positive change to Canadian children.
