| 1958: National Health (Design - Gerald M Trottier) |
The perfect message for the times we are living through - "Health Guards the Nation". A shared endeavor and so was the stamp between Trottier, the designer, the portrait and picture engraved by Yves Baril and the lettering by John Marsh. The nurse was the first living person to be portrayed on a Canadian stamp, alas I do not know her name, the essential but unknown front line worker.

Rain, shine and pandemic the post never stopped and flowed through my letterbox, hurray for postal workers.

Another essential service out in all weathers whose personnel kept going, the refuse collector.

Pleased to see a nurse represented - but when will we see some stamps issued for these Covid times?

The garbage man! (As we say here in the USA). Yes an essential front line worker.
I really like the Danish stamp!
For some strange reason, I didn't thought of postpeople as "key workers"... Of course they are!
I deliver newspapers and am also considered an essential worker (though I don't feel like one, but am glad people are still needing to read hard copies of the news)
It's interesting to see how nurse's uniforms change over the years
Yes Veridian officially they are called refuse collectors here but everyone refers to them as 'the bin men'.
