KAMLOOPS — Six outstanding Canadian female athletes have been honoured with their own Canada Post stamps, including Kamloops-area Senator Nancy Greene Raine.

The honorees were recognized at a ceremony at the Canada Sports Hall of Fame in Calgary Wednesday, says Greene Raine.

“It was really an honour and the artist group from Vancouver did a fantastic job,” she told CFJC Today. “They’re beautiful stamps and it’s such an honour to be in a collection with six athletes that are absolutely outsanding and very familiar to most Canadians.”

The other athletes recognized were Sharon and Shirley Firth (cross-country skiing), Sonja Gaudet (wheelchair curling), Danielle Goyette (hockey) and Clara Hughes (cycling and speed skating).
