CANADA POST MAIL IMG RATES AT THE TIME OF THE GAMES [All rates reflect the first weight increment. Post cards are treated as first increment letters, i.e. no special post card rates are in effect in Canada.] Canada (domestic rate): 37U United States: 43s> ' International: 7ht Registration: $2.70 plus above postage Special Delivery (Alberta only) SI.83 plus aoove postage Special Delivery (all others) $2.63 plus above postage 201 COMMEMORATIVE OLYMPIC CANCELS Advance information from Canada Post did not make clear the f act that OLYMPEX would be using all cancels available each day according to the schedule of events. However, the other venue post offices were only authorized to use the ca,n- eels for their own venue city. CPC also removed one special., cance 1 from their list before the start of the Games: the Disab led Skiing at Canmore. This left 19 special cancels in all. Initially, there was also some confusion as to when to apply cancels for postponed events. When the Men's Downhill Skiin g event at Nakiska on February 14th was postponed be- cause of bad weather, the Kananaskis Post Office removed the Alpin e Skiing cancel from use. OLYMPEX, however, continued to us e theirs. Whether any cancels did indef-d get applied at Ka nanaskis on that day is, as yet, unknown. Another post- p o n e m ent occurred on February 20th when the Disabled Skiing Slalo m event at Canada Olympic Park in Calgary was delayed until the 21st (figure 1). In this case, OLYMPEX and Station 'M' w ere warned in advance, and this cancel was never put in- to us e on the 20th. MOty^LuWi.jtiQ'-'ti.

This probl em was late r co rrecte d. 202 An initial examination of the special cancels from the various venue post offices reveals no discernible diffe rence in image, size of die, or lettering style/position. Ho weyer, there are major differences in the order of the 'month-day- year ' designation in the moveable date portion of ^the die : 4 i TYPE 1 Year.Month.Day (ex. 88.11.20) TYPE 2 Day.Month.Year (ex. 20.11.88) TYPE. 3 Year Month Day (ex. 88 II 20) no periods TYPE 4 Year Month Day (ex. 88 2 20) no periods, Arabic nume ral month. [A member of our sister organization, The Society of Olympic Collector s, discovered two other types which were hu- man errors. Only a couple of cancels were applied before the moveable date was corrected by the postal employee. I assume that the-:e types will be discussed in a future issue of The Torchbearer. ] There are re ports of cancels in which only one period is present, howev er it has not been determined whether this is due to poor in king of the die or not. While these vari- eties in style of dating may seem trivial, they are, I be- lieve, the only w ay to discern one venue post office from another (when met er tapes, registration, etc. have not been used). This will be critical in determining the rarity of a particular cover. Cancel types 1, 2, and 3 exist on various days for specific event cancels. An exact enumeration of these varieties w ill be presented in a future article.

However, today there is widespread acknowledgement that the management of cultural heritage resources needs to be brought into large-scale planning and management processes in an integrated and holistic manner. This is particularly true in protected areas, which not only contain significant cultural heritage resources, but are also often mandated to conserve these resources and can benefit significantly from the effort.
