This vivid portrait of a katydid (right) will soon grace a new stamp. In honour of the 80th anniversary of The Royal Canadian Geographical Society and Canadian Geographic, Canada Post will issue stamps of the winners of the Canadian Wildlife Photography of the Year Contest. In May 2010, five stamps — one for the winning entry in each of the contest’s categories — will be available in booklets of 10 at postal outlets across Canada.

“I grew up hearing all about the Sydney steel mill, the tar ponds and the controversy over the cleanup. The more I read and learned, the more my curiosity was piqued. It seemed a natural area for me to take my studies.”
