Canada 2022 Lunar New Year of the Tiger Picture Postage Personalized Stamp



Issue date February 2022

Canada Post has stopped issuing the Lunar New Year Stamp series after 2  twelve year cycles since 2020 when it released the last Year of the Rat Stamp. To commemorate the Lunar New Year Celebrated on 4 February 2022 for the Year of the Tiger, I had a special stamps issued via the Canada Post Picture Postage program featuring a Year of the Tiger Design Print from a young designer which incorporated a simple and beautiful interpretation of the Lunar New Year Animal - The Tiger.

I had also used her last years design image for the Lunar New Year of the OX 2021 on another Canada Picture Postage Stamps printed at the same time.



I would like to thank Ms.Julie Truong for use of her Design Print Image on my picture postage stamps and look forward to her future projects in this area. She can be contacted at www.Facebook.com/Jeulart or her Instagram Page Jeulart.
