Description

Canada's recreational areas provide wide opportunity for travel, camping, hunting or fishing. As part of its contribution to the Resources for Tomorrow programme, the Post Office Department is issuing this stamp symbolizing the renewable resources, and their link with the wheel of industry and man's responsibility for a balanced control. The stamp was intended to make all who see it, in Canada and abroad, conscious of the urgent need for planning effective use of our resources.

This postage stamp design symbolizes man's multiple use of the country's renewable, natural resources. Canada is a vast land, endowed with natural resources and with abundant lakes and rivers, forest and agricultural lands and wildlife. An extensive programme was organized to promote the co-ordination of federal and provincial policies on the utilization of resources along with the recreational and regional development aspects of their management.

The major step in this co-ordinated operation was the Resources for Tomorrow"Conference held in Montreal from 23rd to 28th October, 1961. Conceived and initiated by the federal government, the Conference was first suggested by the Prime Minister as a means of co-ordinating efforts to improve the management of Canada's natural resources. As a result, all ten provincial governments, together with the federal government, were participating in the Montreal conference on an equal basis.

One objective of the months of planning for the meeting was an improved understanding of the vital role of the public everywhere. A major object of the conference was to move beyond the old concept of conservation of natural resources. Multiple use and developement of this country's renewable resources was required. This concept touched everyone's livelihood because of our direct and indirect dependence on the use of agricultural and forest lands, and water resources whether for fisheries, industry or hydro electric power.
