When the 2010 Winter Olympics were announced in the Spring of 2003, Canada Post must have been caught napping.
Their response was to produce an overprint on a current stamp showing the Canada Post office building in Ottawa.
The stamps came from Canada Post as three booklets of 10, and were released mostly to western post offices.
They were quickly snapped up by the public, however, and the new 2005 catalogues have listed them at much appreciated values.
