Postal Cancels

As well as the official Day of Issue postal cancel from Ottawa, two special Jamboree cancels were used at the Jamboree. They were very similar but had a few differences in both the round indicia and the rectangular slogan.

Indicia	VII 20 Ontario Short dashes in town name	20 VII Ont. Long dashes
Slogan	Dash 28-1955 Large Print (most noted in numerals)	Dot 28.1955 Small Print
