Throughout the 2000s, Canada Post has issued a large number of stamps with different designs and themes.
One of the key changes in the decade was that Canada Post issued series of stamps on a yearly basis.
Unlike the United States Postal Service, Canada puts people that are still alive on its stamps.
In the 2000s, such people have included Roberta Bondar, Wayne Gretzky, Gerhard Herzberg, and Oscar Peterson.
The tulip stamps were featured on collector plates (Canada Post item numbers 250437 and 250438) in 2004 and sold for $29.95 each.
NHL Heritage Jersey and Stamp Sets were released by Canada Post.
The limited edition sets featured a print of vintage team hockey jerseys and the corresponding official NHL All-Stars stamp.
A souvenir sheet of the six NHL All-Stars featured on stamps for the corresponding year along with six collectible medallions manufactured by the Royal Canadian Mint were part of the set.
As an added collectible, lithographs were featured in wood-framed canvas prints and were signed by the corresponding player.
Coasters (item number 341636), made from wood and cork, and presented in a round, black metal container with a logo-embossed lid were sold for $7.99 each.
Only 2,500 prints are produced and an officially cancelled Lunar New Year souvenir sheet is affixed and hand numbered.
