Stamp recognizes Ukraine’s needs, Canadians’ generosity
Recognizing Canadians’ generosity towards people in crisis, Canada Post has issued a fundraising stamp that gives Canadians a way to support Ukrainians. The stamps are available for pre-order on canadapost.ca today and will be available for purchase in post offices on July 7. This is the first time that Canada Post has issued a stamp in support of a country in need of humanitarian assistance.
Funds raised through the purchase of this stamp will be distributed through the Canada-Ukraine Foundation (CUF). This well-established organization has a long history of enabling assistance to Ukraine. In the current crisis, it has been delivering aid wherever it is needed, from heavily shelled areas in Ukraine’s north and east, to the displaced Ukrainians to the west and in neighbouring countries.
Thank you and have a good Canada Day weekend.
Michael Souza
President
