Canada Post revealed the stamp celebrating Sainte-Marie at a small, in-person event at the National Arts Centre in Ottawa on Thursday.
For Chartrand, getting a chance to honour the five-time Juno Award winner and Order of Canada recipient in person made the wait worthwhile. "There are so many people, Indigenous and otherwise, who are really doing a lot of great work in Canada, and really throughout the world," she said.The lifelong activist and advocate for Indigenous, social and environmental issues is well-known for connecting with Canadians through her music, as well as through her long-standing educational and philanthropic efforts.
"[Sainte-Marie] came on the scene and really started making waves as a performer, as a songwriter, in the early '60s," he said. "She's now 80 — and she's had this extraordinary career where she's never stopped."Sainte-Marie is still performing and creating; she went back on the road for a couple of shows this summer.
