Residents will be able to put their very own Chinese New Year stamp of approval on the Year of the Rooster.

Special Canada Post stamps highlighting the new year were revealed at the Federation of Chinese-Canadians centre in Markham this week.

The beautifully-designed stamps were presented by Ken Ng, chairman of the Federation of Chinese Canadians in York Region and Danny Kotsopoulos, Canada Post regional business manager.

"The Year of the Rooster stamp is the ninth stamp in our lunar cycle for Canada Post. We celebrate the Year of the Rooster where people born under that sign are successful, courageous, confident and always ready for action," said Kotsopoulos.

Ng invited everyone to come out to the Chinese New Year celebration at Markham Civic Centre, Sunday, Jan. 29 from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m.
