He was also made a member of the Order of Canada. “The life of Nelson Mandela is an inspiration to everyone who values human rights,” said Chris Alexander, minister of citizenship and immigra- tion. “He will forever be remembered as a man whose courage changed not just South Africa, but also the world.” The stamp design is based on a famous photograph by Yousuf Karsh, taken in 1990 during Mandela’s first trip to Canada. Mandela had just arrived in Can- ada and when he showed up at Karsh’s studio in Ottawa’s Chateau Laurier, he only had a few short mo- ments to rest.
