On May 20, Canada Post is issuing a se-tenant (side-by-side) pair of nondenominated permanent-rate (currently 92¢) History of Radio in Canada stamps. The new issue comes in a self-adhesive booklet of 10.

The stamps commemorate Canada's inaugural radio broadcast, which hit the airwaves a century ago on the evening of May 20, 1920. According to Canada Post's Details magazine for collectors, the radio program came from Marconi Wireless Telegraph Company's studios in Montreal, Quebec, and was a closed broadcast for a Royal Society of Canada gathering at the Chateau Laurier hotel in Ottawa, Ontario.
