Canada’s 2SLGBTQIA+ pioneers commemorated in new stamp issue - Canada Post

The momentum for National Truth and Reconciliation continues to rise, with Canada Post today unveiling a collection of four Orange Shirt stamps in recognition of the ongoing Every Child Matters campaign. Begun in 2013 by Phyllis Jack Webstad, the symbol of the Orange Shirt has become a striking and memorable symbol of all that was taken from Indigenous First Nations across Canada. The Orange Shirt walks have themselves become a rallying point for Canadian support of First Nations. This year in particular represents a significant milestone in the movement – students who are graduating this year have spent every year since kindergarten participating in the walk.
