General Description : | In a year when Canadians will be focused on winter sports excellence, Canada Post is shining the light on three history-makers and record-breakers. Each woman honoured in this set of stamps has changed the face of her sport and left an indelible mark on the memories of her fans. The illustrations represent the athletes in full action, which contrasts with the simplicity of the design. The vibrant, powerful style reflects the prowess of the three champions. The setting features an element that reminds us of the athlete’s sport and the colour scheme is influenced by the colours of the Olympic logo. |
