Location: Leslie Street

The relatively new postal sorting station at the corner of Leslie and Commissioners is decorated down the length of Leslie Street with oversized versions of various stamps, all of which feature birds. This particular stamp is from the third and final release in the Birds of Canada series which was issued in 2018. At that time, a domestic stamp in Canada cost $0.85 if you bought it as part of a booklet. Thanks to the introduction of the "permanent" stamp concept in 2006, that same stamp, if you still had it in your drawer, would get your Christmas card mailed today, despite current rates sitting at $0.92.
These stamps were designed by Mike Savage and the chickadee is the work of illustrator Keith Martin.
