Issued in 1956, this Canadian definitive stamp celebrates the nation’s thriving pulp and paper industry—one of its most vital economic sectors. The design, printed in deep green, depicts a worker overseeing large rolls of paper emerging from industrial machinery, symbolizing modern mechanization and productivity. The bilingual inscriptions “Pulp and Paper / Pâte et Papier” and “Postes / Postage” highlight Canada’s bilingual identity. A classic representation of Canada’s postwar industrial growth, this 20¢ issue remains an iconic piece in mid-century Canadian philately.
