A couple of years before the 10th World Congress on Art Deco, which took place in Montreal in 2009,  we wrote the Canadian Post asking them to commission a stamp celebrating Canadian Art Deco Architecture.

In November 2009 we were delighted to receive a letter from the Canada Post Corporation, telling us that they were exploring the possibility of preparing a series of stamps celebrating Art Deco architecture in Canada and asking for our input..

The success of the 10th World Congress on Art Deco perhaps helped propel this initiative.
