A new 15c Beneficial Insect souvenir sheet is being issued by Canada Post on October 16 that includes an inscription noting the 125th Anniversary of The Royal Philatelic Society of Canada:
new12collector: Not sure where you are getting a "17c denomination" from?
I understand that the 15c total value was chosen to encourage youth to start collecting stamps (i.e. Stamp Collecting Month?) ... see the inscriptions down the right side of the sheet.
This souvenir sheet was issued today (Oct 16/2012):
As noted on the right side of the souvenir sheet, there are hidden features and text on each stamp. As well, the 'hidden' copyright date reads 2012 (which is different from the original printings of these stamps).
I just realized something...Canada Post made a first day cover with this souvenir sheet but it's not even remotely close to being sufficient postage for domestic mail...therefore the first day cover is clearly a money grab! *sigh* Why do something like that?
