"Alice Munro is not only one of Canada's most critically acclaimed writers but also one of the most popular," said Canada's transport minister Lisa Raitt, who oversees Canada Post.
Munro, who won the Nobel literature prize in 2013, is known for short stories -- often set in small towns -- that focus on the frailties of the human condition.
The Nobel committee hailed her as the "master of the contemporary short story."
"Munro's literary talent, wisdom and humanity, reflected in her stories over several decades, have earned her recognition that few writers in any language or country attain," said Canada Post President and CEO Deepak Chopra.
