The telephone — remember that? Invented by Alexander Graham Bell back in 1874. The “telephone” remained popular until about about 2013, 2014 or so, and that is when cell phones or mobile phones gradually overtook them in popularity or usefulness. This stamp commemorates the 100 year anniversary of it’s invention.
First time since 1912, that the World cycling championships was held in North America: Summer of 1974, Montreal, Quebec. Significance marked with the issuance of this 8 cent stamp.
The last 8 cent stamp highlights the Mennonites arrival to the Canadian Prairies, Manitoba specifically. In and around the 1870’s and 1880’s is when this ethnic group immigrated to our country, the mennonites are a Christian based religious type of people.
