Commemorative coins and stamps

Today, federal partners are unveiling their commemorative contributions for the 70th anniversary of Her Majesty’s accession to the Throne.

Canada Post is unveiling its commemorative stamp featuring the classic profile of the Queen sculpted by Arnold Machin. Often used on British stamps, it’s the first time that this classic profile has been used on a Canadian stamp.

The Royal Canadian Mint and the Royal Mint are joining forces to celebrate the Jubilee by issuing a special two-coin set. Each institution has produced a one-ounce fine silver coin featuring a unique design that captures the spirit of this historic occasion.

Events across the country

The Platinum Jubilee will be celebrated in many ways throughout the year.

In the spring, commemorative banners in Jubilee colours will be displayed along Confederation Boulevard, Canada’s ceremonial route in downtown Ottawa–Gatineau, as well as in locations across the country.

On June 2, in celebration of the date of Her Majesty’s coronation, iconic federal buildings will be illuminated across the country.

Northern Lights 2022, a sound and light show held each summer on Parliament Hill, will also feature a new segment to mark this important anniversary.

Canadian Heritage will present an exhibit titled The Queen and Canada in Ottawa on the Château Laurier terrace. The exhibit will run throughout the summer, with images of Her Majesty from the last seven decades.

In addition, lieutenant governors and territorial commissioners will dedicate gardens throughout the country in honour of Her Majesty’s 70 years of dedicated service. These gardens will be unveiled throughout the summer of 2022.
