For the past few days I have been reading folders and articles from my late dad's 80s period -brought recently by my brother.
I came upon a folder with many articles, mostly in "french" and found one in "english" of interest, surrounding Canada Post's choosing of a drawing submitted by MARC FOURNIER, a young 12 year old Scout who's submission was supported by my late dad (Editor-Publisher of a french Newspaper Le Madawaska, Edmundston, New Brunswick). Marc's drawing was chosen in a contest where thousands of entries came from all over Canada, chosen and issued by Canada Post for the XVth Jamboree not far from Calgary, Alberta. This stamp as shown in a PB bears Unitrade Canada Specialized # 993, 32ç, and the PB does mention the name of Marc Fournier (drawing) and Montréal designer Francois Dallaire.
