DEAR COLLECTORSDrawing on Canadian talent

Our long-awaited Editorial Cartoonists issue proves just how well five much-awarded and highly recognized cartoonists – Duncan Macpherson, Serge Chapleau, Brian Gable, Bruce MacKinnon and Terry Mosher (Aislin) – communicate their points of view on national and international events and personalities with an abundance of wit and a few adept strokes of a pen.

It ’s also time for the Canada Post Community Foundat ion fundrais ing stamp, which inv i tes Canadians to support Canadian children and youth. This year ’s design features luminous fireflies that remind us to be the light in the lives of others.

Finally, some personal news. After more than three decades at Canada Post and most of the last two as Director of S tamp Ser vices, I wil l be retir ing in mid-November. It’s been so much more than just a job, and I’m honoured to have had the chance to tell so many important Canadian stories through the stamp program. As I write this announcement, Canada Post is searching nationally for a champion of Canadian culture who will continue to develop the stamp program of which we’re so proud. Stay tuned for that announcement.

CANADA POST ­COMMUNITY FOUNDATIONIssue date: September 20, 2021

First­day­of­issue­special envelope

414169131$2.02

Following the success of the Canada Post Community Foundation’s 2020 stamp, this year’s design was also selected by Canada Post frontline employees who are well versed in what appeals to their stamp-buying customers.

The winning design by Subplot of fers an illustration by Kim Smith that literally glows with creativity. The luminous fireflies in this charming illustration is a reminder of the light that shines within each of us. We all have the power to make the world brighter for others – especially children and youth – and that’s why the Canada Post Community Foundation exists.

This 10th annual fundraising stamp allows customers to donate $1 per booklet (or 10 cents per OFDC) to the Canada Post Community Foundation, which provides funding to local and national non-profit groups that serve needs of children and youth. Since its establishment, the Foundation has raised more than $11 million to support some 1,000 non-profit organizations that bring positive change to Canadian children.

EDITORIAL CARTOONISTSIssue date: October 8, 2021

Booklet­of­10 stamps414134111$9.20

With this stamp issue, Canada Post features the work of five homegrown editorial cartoonists – all members of the Order of Canada and multiple winners of industry awards.

Born in 1949 in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Brian Gable studied fine art at the University of Saskatchewan and education at the University of Toronto. In the 1970s, he became a freelance editorial cartoonist for the Brockville Recorder and Times while teaching art in Brockville, Ontario. Hired full time by the Regina Leader-Post in 1980, he later joined The Globe and Mail, where he has been the editor ial car toonist for more than three decades.

Better known as Aislin, Terry Mosher was born in Ottawa, Ontario, in 1942. After taking art courses in an Ontario technical school, he enrolled in the École des beaux arts de Québec. Graduating in 1967, he began his career drawing caricatures on the city’s streets. Mosher landed his first job as an editorial cartoonist at the Montreal Star before moving to the Montreal Gazette, where he has used his art to make wry comment on world events for nearly 50 years.

Toronto-born Duncan Macpherson (1924-93) is widely considered to be Canada’s greatest editorial cartoonist. During the Second World War, he packed bombs in England and took art classes

in his spare time. His veteran’s pension paid for studies at Boston’s Museum of Fine Arts and Toronto’s Ontario College of Ar t (now OCAD University). Macpherson worked at The Standard in Montréal and Maclean’s. He then joined the Toronto Daily Star where he changed the role of Canadian editorial cartoonists by retaining his status as an independent contributor, producing drawings that sometimes opposed the publisher’s editorial position.

Serge Chapleau (b. 1945) – known by his last name – grew up in a working-class Montréal neighbourhood and studied painting and graphic arts at the Montreal School of Fine Arts. His career was launched in 1972 after his clever caricature

of Quebec singer Gilles Vigneault ran in the widely read weekly Perspectives. Chapleau’s work also appeared in Montréal-Matin, L’actualité, Le Devoir and 7 Jours , and in 1996, he became the editorial cartoonist at La Presse. In 2004, his popular puppet character Gérard D. Laflaque was brought to life on the television satire Et Dieu créa…Laflaque.

The editorial cartoonist for The Chronicle Herald in Halifax, Bruce MacKinnon (b. 1961) grew up in Antigonish, Nova Scotia, studied fine arts at Mount Allison University and graphic design at the Nova Scotia College of Art and Design. He began his career as a freelancer, drawing weekly cartoons for the Herald before the paper hired him full time in 1986.
