A new stamp from Canada raises awareness of the ability to give life through organ and tissue donation. Canada Post issued this non-denominated permanent-rate stamp to support Organ and Tissue Donation.

The stamp shows two figures that form two halves of a heart. Arms with hands reaching toward stars connect the two sides of the heart, representing the connection between donors and recipients. Images of water, plants, and animals appear inside the heart which is an abstract representation of the spirit of life.

Shades of green, the official color of organ and tissue donation, symbolize hope. Elements of this design, such as the two figures facing one another with outstretched arms, are reminiscent of the United States Organ and Tissue Donation stamp issued in the year 1998.
