    Commemorative envelope

    On September 1, 1864, delegates from New Brunswick, Nova Scotia, Prince Edward Island and the Province of Canada gathered in Charlottetown, P.E.I., to discuss a union of the British North American colonies. A second meeting, held in Québec on October 10 of that year, brought the possibility of a union even closer to reality. This envelope marks the 150th anniversary of the historic milestone in Charlottetown with archival photographs and contemporary depictions. A commemorative envelope celebrating the 150th anniversary of the Québec Conference will be released in October.
