Is the "Oxfam Canada Stamp Program" a nonprofit organization? If so, do the proceeds of this sale benefit a charity or organization dedicated to such work? There has been continuing exceptions carved out on this discussion board to the "no advertising" rule for such promotions and I can leave this post in place if you can reply in the affirmative. If you are unable to give me positive assurances to my two inquiries, I shall be forced to remove this post.

That's all I asked. Sorry if you took offense.
I spend a lot of time at the Oxfam tables at The Orapex show in Ottawa...those volunteers are probably the hardest workers at the show. They are good people doing good works !
OXFAM is a top notch legit organization - and their lots are generally good quality with fair prices. They can be trusted.
Hello,
Got this from local stamp club. I don't collect Canada
I thought there might be some interest here
Oxfam Canada has a volunteer-run stamp sales program to raise money for Oxfam’s international self-help development projects. We receive donations of stamps from many sources. One source is a donation of presentation First Day Covers to then MP Paul Dick, Member of Parliament for Lanark-Renfrew-Carleton from 1972-1993 and a Government Minister.
We heard that you are a collector of Canadian First Day Covers, and so we are sending you our special offers list of these unique covers .
