This striking semi-postal issue from Canada, released for the XXI Olympiad in Montréal (1976), features a stylized image of a swimmer in motion, arms outstretched in a butterfly stroke. The vivid waves in green and blue capture the energy of aquatic competition, while the bright, minimal design reflects the modernist style of the 1970s. The 8 + 2 cent denomination includes a 2 cent surcharge to support Olympic funding, symbolizing national enthusiasm for the Games. The official Montréal 1976 emblem appears in white, uniting Canada’s athletic spirit and graphic design excellence.
