150th Anniversary of Weather Observing, 1990

Notes: 1. Formal events were not held to commemorate this anniversary.  Rather, it was celebrated by issuing a special postage stamp to recognize the 150th anniversary of weather observing in Canada.  This was only the second Canadian postage stamp ever issued which had meteorology as its subject.    This stamp may be seen here (stamp #2) in several versions including a copy of the first day of issue cover.   2. Called Weather 150, It was also the subject of an article on pages 1 and 3 of the February / March 1990 edition of Zephyr which may be seen here. 3. Finally, two photos from an album of observing, used in the postage stamp material, are seen below.  This album was in the MSC Library but was lost during the closing of HQs offices at 4905 Dufferin Street in the 2010s.
