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.

The Summits of Canada – an expedition to climb the highest peaks in all provinces and territories. “Welcome to an historic expedition to tell Canadians and the world about Canada. The legacy of this quest is not the footprints we will leave on the mountains, but the impact on people’s lives. Together we can make a difference, one step at a time.”

— James Coleridge, Expedition Leader,
Summits of Canada
