A great idea to take stamps and portraits of past leeter carriers and postmasters of this town and provide individual recognition to perople that made the mail system in Stony Plain work.
The town's website describes the mural as follows:
"A series of stamps depicts milestones and postmasters in the history of the Stony Plain mail service. Far left shows John L. McDonald, first settler and postmaster, who had applied for the post office in 1892 and obtained the name “Stony Plain.” George Sutherland was first official mail carrier, riding his horse into Edmonton to collect mail."
