Canada Covers - Modern cancel hunt filling a pair of envelope boxes with the results of a circa 2008-2009 mail out to Post Offices across the country with a self-addressed stamp envelope requesting the post office to return it with a hand cancellation from that Post Office. This effort resulted in several hundred #10 covers from "rural" post offices, mostly franked with commemoratives or Christmas issues struck with 6-digit POCON/HRIS or "Wing" cancels, or the "Pictorial" CDS cancels that were popular at the time. We didn’t see any Quebec or Northwest Territories, but there is lots of Nova Scotia, Newfoundland-Labrador and Ontario, with about a half box from the Western Provinces. Postmasters sometimes included notes about the post office, or the closure dates for Post Offices. These get to be a more and more expensive proposition each year, so take advantage of this 15 year-old effort. Estimate =
