".....From Radio Canada International:

Celebrating a centennial of radio May 20, 1920: Canada Post
stamp

Marc Montgomery
20 May 2020

It was a marvelous and thrilling event in its time. Distinguished
members of Canada’s Royal Society gathered at the equally
prestigious Chateau Laurier Hotel in the national capital Ottawa
for a unique event, possibly the world’s first such event. None
other than the Prime Minister himself, Robert Borden, was also in
attendance.

A broadcast with the recent invention of radio had been
scheduled. On the evening of May 20,1920 soprano Dorothy Lutton
stepped up to the microphone.

While the amazed audience listened, she began to sing from about
200 kilometres away in the ‘studio’ of Montreal station XWA,
although it was more like an electronics lab in an office room
than what we would call a studio today. The Americans might
claim the first scheduled radio broadcast was from Pittsburgh
station KDKA, that wasn’t until months later in November

Canada Post is honouring that memorable date with a new stamp
released on this 100th anniversary................"
