The event also marked the 100th anniversary of the association's founding. Canada Post also launched North America's first Braille stamp, featuring a guide dog, with the denomination indicated in Braille. The MAB, which merged with the Mackay Rehabilitation Centre two years ago, provided services to the blind and visually impaired community in Montreal.
