TORONTO, July 18, 2024 /CNW/ – Canada Post invites you to the unveiling of a new commemorative stamp, celebrating the life and legacy of genre-spanning Toronto-born filmmaker Norman Jewison, C.C. (1926-2024), on Wednesday, July 24.

One of Hollywood’s most prolific filmmakers, Norman Jewison directed some of the most popular movies of our time – including multiple-Academy Award winners In the Heat of the Night (1967) and Moonstruck (1987). He made some 60 films and television productions over his long career, received four Oscar nominations for Best Picture, was awarded the Irving G. Thalberg Memorial Award in 1999 for his body of work.

This private event will take place at the Canadian Film Centre in Toronto, which was established by Jewison, and serves as a training ground and incubator for Canadian talent.
