Canadian Stamp Sets
Chinese Lunar New Year
The Lunar New Year consists of 12 periods named after animals (listed to the
left).
Canada began issuing stamps for the Chinese Lunar New Year in 1997. Starting in 1999, two
different values were issued: one for the domestic first class postal rate and another in
the international rate (the latter was also issued in a souvenir sheet).

| Ambitious, honest, sincere, generous, and able to
