Hell’s Gate on the Frasier River (BC)
The point of this card is to display fish ladders allowing salmon to swim upriver to spawn. So we definitely don’t include this in our “Fishing” category! The postmark is only partly clear but we think this card was mailed in the 1970s; stamp and blue air mail sticker are there. Grade: 1

1000 Islands
This unused card looks so normal, until you read the caption, which seems like it wants you to believe all 1000 of those islands are in Canada. We don’t think that was the intention; just their description of Zavikon Island in particular. And as Wikipedia reveals that the 1000 Islands are actually 1864 islands, and very much straddling Canada and the USA, we leave you with the choice of which of those 1,864 islands you want to visit. Grade: 1

Kingston, PumpHouse Museum
The PumpHouse Museum is located in one of Canada’s oldest original water works – where steam-powered pumps provided the first running water to Kingston. Their website says it began operation in 1851. Their postcard says “400 Years of Transportation in Kingston”. ?? Unused. Grade: 1

Price: $2.00
Toronto, Massey Music Hall
From their own website, “Massey Hall, a historic gem, was constructed in 1894 through the generosity of Hart Massey … it remains one of Canada’s most esteemed cultural institutions, holding the distinguished title of a National Historic Site.” Unused card. Grade: 1

Vancouver (BC), Le Meridien
It was Le Meridien Vancouver when this (unused) card was printed, but changed names awhile back to The Sutton Place Hotel. Interesting to note that Meridien seems to have no properties in Canada at all as of right now. Grade: 1

Code: 20102573
Price: $3.00
Kingston (ON), RMC Vista
The caption says “RMC Vista” by Piotr Bielicki, so full credit to him … and RMC is the Royal Military College of Canada. The card was mailed in 2024 with three different stamps, and postmark blending in. Grade: 1

Code: 20102574
Price: $2.00

Code: 20102577
Price: $1.00
Bath (ON), Loyalist Trading
About as “local” as any postcard can get, this place is a favourite of the sender and most likely would be ours too, if we could get there. Mailed in 2024, none of the three stamps are cancelled — which seems to be the norm from Canada Post now. Grade: 3

Code: 20102578
Price: $2.00
Kingston (ON), Queen’s University
Mailed in 2024, with three different uncancelled stamps and a kitty sticker. Grade: 4

Code: 20102579
Price: $2.00
Toronto, aerial view
An older (we think, early 1960s) Plastichrome card P25661, mailed in 2024 with overlapping stamps and an impressively large postmark. Grade: 3

Code: 20102580
Price: $5.00
Niagara Falls
The card was published in Canada, so we’ll treat it as Canadian … mailed in 2024 with three (uncancelled) stamps. The card has a sort of glitter effect on the front — it sparkles, but fortunately none of that falls off. Grade: 3

Code: 20102581
