Canada Post sets private Force 136 stamp unveiling for 3 November
Canada Post will unveil a Remembrance Day commemorative stamp honouring Chinese Canadians of Force 136 at the Chinese Canadian Museum in Vancouver on 3 November 2026. The operator’s 28 October media advisory schedules the ceremony for 1:30 p.m. Pacific Time, with doors opening at 1 p.m.
The stamp recognises Chinese Canadian veterans who undertook secret, high-risk missions behind enemy lines in Asia during the Second World War while facing racial discrimination at home. Canada Post links their service both to the Allied war effort and to the subsequent dismantling of racial barriers in Canada.
The unveiling is private and by invitation only. The advisory names Vancouver mayor-elect Pete Fry, community historian and curator Catherine Clement, museum chief executive Dr. Melissa Karmen Lee, and family representatives Rick Wong and the Honourable Brent G. Hoy among those taking part. The venue is at 51 East Pender Street. Media interviews will be available on site, with attendance confirmation requested through Canada Post’s media-relations office.
