Canada Post unveils Habitat 67 stamp to commemorate Canada’s 150th anniversary
MONTREAL — Canada Post and renowned architect Moshe Safdie have unveiled a stamp depicting the city’s famous Habitat 67 housing complex to celebrate the 150th year of Confederation.
Safdie presented the commemorative stamp today inside the Habitat building he designed for Montreal’s Expo 67, which had its opening ceremony 50 years ago today.
The stamp is the first of 10 that Canada Post is unveiling to commemorate the 150th anniversary of the country’s founding.
Safdie designed the Habitat 67 complex for his master’s thesis in architecture at McGill University and the structure was built as a pavilion for the exhibition.
