1967 The Canadian Press

The Canadian Press ("CP") was created by newspaper publishers in 1917 to facilitate the exchange of news across Canada. CP was established as a co-operative in which annual expenditures were divided city by city, where there was a member newspaper, on the basis of circulation. In 1951, a French-language service was inaugurated.

The CP commemorative stamp, designed by William McLauchlin, was issued on August 31, 1967.
