The goal of CanadaCovers.com initiative is to use information and communication
technology to provide public with enhanced view about Canada First Day Covers and Cachets
made in Canada reflecting to Canadian Heritage and History. Our online catalogue starts
with the earliest known patriotic cachets and on with the 1927 Confederation Issue, date
of issuance of the First Commercial Canadian Cachets. It currently ends in 1949. This an
attempt at cataloguing every Cachet made for Canada First day Covers. By using digital
media and the Canadian First Day Covers History, we want to to showcase the richness
of our country to the world, celebrate our heritage and embrace our identity. We hope to
strengthen the connections among Canadian First Day Covers Collectors and create
opportunities for participation in our research.
Our Mission is to promote preservation of diverse Canadian cultural works: First Day Covers, Stamps and other collector items reflective of Canadian past and expressive of Canadian values and aspirations. By utilizing electronic media we want to create a virtual museum and a collectors market place that is:
Educational by nature
Accessible to all, easy to use and organized
Less time-consuming and costly to use
Higher quality and more comprehensive
We are targeting branding and enhancing the visibility of Canadian cultural
content and Postal History, particularly for youth and schools. By fostering the
development of a specialized web site we would like to provide parents and teachers with
tools to educate children about subjects related to Canadian Postal culture and
collecting.
