Let's start a mail campaign asking for a Canada Post stamp depicting the Provincial Fishes of Canada followed the the National fish.

 

Not sure what they all are but Alberta's is the Bull Trout.

 

Based upon this article...

...Canada Post takes requests. It takes 2 years.

 

Please join in sending them a snail mail.

 

This is the policy...

These are the only fish depicted so far in Canada...

What...maybe this is derailed. It does not look like all Provinces have a species recognized...

 

Therefore I make the following suggestions...

 

BC - Steelhead

AB - Bull Trout

SK - Northern Pike

MN - Walleye

Ontario - Lake Trout

Quebec - Brook Trout

NB - Atlantic Salmon

NS - Bluefin Tuna

NFL and Lab - Arctic Char

PEI - Atlantic Cod

NWT - Inconnu

Nunavut - Arctic Cod

Yukon - Arctic Grayling

 

Anyone disagree with my choices?

 

Start writing!

 

Submissions should be sent to:

Director of Stamp Products

CANADA POST CORPORATION

2701 RIVERSIDE DRIVE SUITE N1070

OTTAWA ON K1A 0B1

Quebec - Brook Trout
