On July 2, 2009, as part of its Canadian Recording Artists series, Canada Post issued a quartet of stamps to celebrate the efforts of four musicians who have made remarkable contributions to the Canadian music scene: the Acadian singing sensation Édith Butler, the legendary Quebec singer-songwriter Robert Charlebois, the international rock superstar Bryan Adams, and the renowned Canadian legend Stompin' Tom Connors.

"Robert Charlebois gave voice to and furthered the development of the chanson," said Robert Waite, Chairman of the Stamp Advisory Committee and Senior vice-president, Corporate Social Responsibility, at Canada Post. "Édith Butler promoted a familiarity with and appreciation for Acadian culture in Canada and around the world. As a global superstar, Bryan Adams took Canadian music around the world and helped develop an infrastructure to propel other Canadians to the top of the charts. Stompin' Tom Connors protested the policies he felt were hindering Canada's artistic potential with songs that have become Canadian anthems."

The stamps are square in format, and feature a monochromatic photo of each artist alongside his or her Order of Canada insignia. For more information on the Canadian Recording Artists series, visit the Canada Post website.
