This beautiful 1981 Canadian pair of 17-cent commemorative stamps celebrates two rich chapters of the nation’s cultural and historical identity. The first stamp marks the bicentennial of Niagara-on-the-Lake (1781–1981), illustrated with a charming historical map showing Fort George and the early Loyalist settlement by the Niagara River. The second honors L’Acadie (Acadia), symbolizing the enduring spirit of the Acadian people through a vivid, folk-art depiction of village life by artist Claude Picard. Both designs emphasize Canada’s heritage of settlement, resilience, and regional diversity.
