Hello, I was researching these as I picked them up recently from a Postal Employee in Trenton, Ontario. I was looking for a thread but could not find one dedicated to Canada Covid-19.
When I got them I was sure there would be a special unitrade # for them, but I guess they are staying under "Picture Postage". I do like the idea of picture postage as I give them to relatives for Wedding announcements and special occasions. Since I have two, might as well get one posted!
"The complete box set given exclusively to Canada Post employees during the COVID pandemic in November 2020. The box contains two booklets of 12 stamps, a thank you card and a pin. Here is a transcript of the card, signed by "Doug" (Doug Ettinger), the president and CEO of Canada Post:

Dear Colleague:
When the global pandemic disrupted everyday life, we were there for our fellow Canadians. We put the safety of each other and our customers first. We provided an essential service and much-needed hope by doing what we do best.
To recognize your efforts and the appreciation of Canadians, we asked a noted designer to develop this special stamp and pin, for employees only.
I hope it instills a sense of pride and servers as a reminder of what we can accomplish when we all pull together.
With my sincere thanks,
- Doug"
