Canada Post -- Expo 86 commemorative stamps (1986)

The World's Fair 1986 was held in Vancouver, Canada, with the theme of "Transport and Communications: World in Motion, World in Touch" Over 80 countries were in attendance at the fair, which lasted from May 2, 1986, to October 13, 1986. The four stamps feature different symbols of the event, showing a satellite, Canada Place, the monorail, and Science World, in no specific order under geometric patterns. The satellite stamp is worth 39 Canadian cents, and shows a satellite to the corner, with a satellite dish in the middle, adjacent to an old timey telephone. The words in the top left corner say "Communications, Vancouver" with the Expo 86 logo in the opposite corner. The Canada Place stamp shows Canada Place from the harbor, with the iconic very pointy roof with the Pan Pacific hotel in the back. There's a simple pattern of repeating maple leaves on top. In the top left, it says "Canada Pavillion/Pavillion du Canada, Vancouver", with the logo in the bottom right. It's worth 34 Canadian cents. The monorail stamp shows a train on top of an elevated platform. There's a simple pattern of something similar to what you see in computer chips, with a vintage streetcar adjacent. In the top left, it says "Transportation/Transport, Vancouver" with the logo in the bottom right. It's worth 68 Canadian cents. And lastly, there's the Science World stamp. It shows the expo center now turned kids museum, overlaid with a pattern similar to the one that makes up its walls. In the bottom right, the text says "Expo Centre/Centre Expo, Vancouver" with the logo in the upper right. It's worth 34 Canadian cents. It was released on April 28, in Vancouver, BC, where the expo was hosted.
