Stamp Collectors: The Loyalist Landing 2008 Society in Shelburne, Nova Scotia, has worked with Canada Post to produce a collectible Picture Postage Stamp. This souvenir of the 225th anniversary of the loyalists’ landing is real postage and will always be valued at the current domestic rate which means that letters up to 30 grams will be delivered to any Canadian address, no matter what the letter rate at the time. .
These stamps can be ordered from the Loyalist Landing 2008 Society by E-mail from their web site. The Picture Postage stamp is a self adhesive stamp. Prices: $1.25 each; Keepsake Sheet with 20 Stamps: $30.00; Stamp Sheets (40 stamps): $50.00 (40 x $1.25).
***
Order Loyalist pins when you register for the reunion and we'll have them for you at the reunion. They are sturdy with a pewter-like finish on the back, making them quite 18th century appropriate. The pin is located near the top of the back to keep thhem from twisting around on your lapel The pins are a great way to show of your Loyalist spirit.

Question ... is there going to be a schedule of events produced in the near future. Even if it is a tentative one, it will be something for some thinking of coming to NS to ponder. eg Handouts showing original sites, homesteads etc., Organized trips to visit grave sites? Horseshoe tournaments, guest speakers, tour guides etc. Just wondering as we hope to look to arrange for accommodation by the end of February and then schedule a three week vacation starting with the re-union.
