POSTAGE STAMP IN HONOUR OF DINA BELANGER


On the 4th September, 2007, the 78th anniversary of her Dina’s death was marked by the Religious of Jesus and Mary of Sillery, Quebec with a Mass which was concelebrated by Father Christian Beaulieu , 25 priests and some deacons.
After the celebration, about 500 people gathered in the Dina Belanger Hall to watch the film, « To know and admire Dina », followed by the song, « Beggar of Love », which was interpreted by Madame Sonia Laliberté and the composer, her husband, Mr Louis-Martin Lanthier.

This was followed by the official launch of a memorial stamp of Dina, designed by Mr Daniel Abel, painter and photographer.  This stamp has been adopted as a permanent stamp by Canada Post.  In this way Dina continues to travel across Canada, for it is still in use, the price being established by Canada Post.
