Throughout the years, Canada Post has released numerous stamps to honour our country and its people. These stamps invoke patriotism and invoke the image of Canada's finest in action. In the early 2000s, Canada Post issued a stamp commemorating the 100th anniversary of the armistice. The stamp features a quote from the song "A Song of Empire" by Lewis Morris. The stamp also commemorates the Canadian Armed Forces, the search and rescue experts, and civilian members of police. The design of the Canada Post stamp was inspired by Canada's national flag. The design also pays tribute to the country's hockey passion. Canada Post has issued a series of commemorative stamps honoring health care professionals. The stamps also pay tribute to the contributions of six Canadian researchers and physicians, including those working in pediatric pathology, stem cell science, and HIV/AIDS research. In 2010, Canada Post launched a new Picture Postage program, allowing customers to put a photo on their stamp. Customers can use the program to send personalized postcards to family and friends, or to mark special occasions. In the past five years, Canada Post has released five commemorative stamps. This year, they are set to release three more stamps to honour First Nations leadership. The first commemorative stamps issued in Canada were two in the 1947 series. These stamps were also the first bilingual issues. In the late 1940s, commemorative stamps were commonplace. The first stamp in the Cameo series began with a 5C value on 10 March 1962. On 2 April 1963, the series moved to a 1C value and on 2 April 1964, the series moved to a 2C value. The stamps were designed by the Canadian philatelic company Subplot Design Inc.
