• The background is a geometric design made up of 2-tone grey triangles with a single coloured triangle representing each of the women.
• The 3 domestic stamps capture the athletes at their best: in the moment. And each one features an illustration by Louis Hébert.
• Barbara Ann Scott’s stamp is based off a 1948 photo taken by Bill Newton. With her white skating dress and skates, the graceful athlete she looks like she has just completed her routine.
• Sandra Schmirler’s stamp is based off a photo taken by Michael Burns. Schmirler, in red and white, delivers the curling stone down the ice.
• Sarah Burke’s stamp is based off a photo taken by Spencer Kovats. Burke is shown smiling, on an icy blue and white winter background.
