#1607 - The quick-stick stamps of 1996 Canada Day has a quilt design of diamonds making a Maple Leaf in the stamps, repeated in the selvedge over the entire sheet. Tabs continue the quilt between stamps. The traffic lights are diamond shaped too. 
#1960a-h - The self-stick Mountain stamps from 2002 are in a circle around a representation of the globe, with each mountain location pointed out, and the latitude & longitude printed beside the arrow. The tops of the stamps mirror the shape of the top of each peak. An animal to be found in the area is depicted near the mountain’s name. Information on each mountain is printed on the back.The traffic lights are triangular. 
#1999a-h - Our Canadian astronauts were depicted in 2003 on self-stick stamps, in circle shapes. The 4-pointed star in each stamp produces a rainbow effect as the sheet is tilted. The Canadarm is shown at the bottom of the sheet. Information on each of the astronauts is detailed on the back. 
#2100-03 - This mini sheet of 16 stamps showing bridges has 4 different bridges #2100-03 repeated 4 times each. The traffic lights are small suspension bridge segments, all strung together to make one long bridge along the top centre. Even though these are self-adhesive stamps, they are perforated on the sheet. There is a bridge span in the selvedge beginning in the bottom left and continuing in the top right. 
#2100-03 back image - This is the back print, showing different photos of the same 4 bridges on the front of the sheet, and each covers the back of 4 stamps. A description of each bridge is printed along the top or bottom edge. 
#2159 - This pane of 16 self-adhesive stamps, was issued to celebrate the 150th Anniversary of the establishment of British Columbia as a British colony. It has a little history lesson along the top of the selvedge. It starts off with the forests and a First Nations house with totem poles, then a sailing ship of first contact by Europeans, a settlement which merges into a modern port with cargo ship and gantries, a suspension bridge and finally a cityscape. The stamps are all perforated. 
#2159 back image - The back print on the pane has several photos, some of which cover 2 or 4 stamp backs. Explanations of each is found in the borders around them. Self-adhesive Booklets Booklets in this format are becoming more common, likely due to the convenience. Some, like the ones below, contain stamps spread across the backing, not touching each other. 
#2225 - This is a booklet from 2007 celebrating 100 years of Scouting. There are 8 stamps spread out over the backing paper, with serpentine perforations. In the centre is an old photo of “Cubs” in a circle, and 8 envelope seals shaped as model cars and merit badges. The Traffic Lights are the Scout fleur de lys inside a Maple Leaf. 
#2168-71 - Wine & Cheese self-adhesive booklet stamps from 2006 had 2 rectangles with corners cut off and 2 ‘wedge’ shaped stamps.
Of course there are several different booklets of definitives in the S-A mode, but if it's a booklet of commemoratives, it's likely to be quite entertaining now. Return from Self-Adhesive Stamps
