Post repeated the spring Baseball card promotion in Canada with CFL cards in the late summer of 1962. Here are scans of all five of the unbroken panels of the 1962 Post Cereal CFL cards that were included inside boxes of Sugar Crisp:

Post repeated the CFL card promotion again in 1963 although by then Sugar Crisp boxes were no longer wrapped in foil. Here are some scans of my factory cut 1963 Post CFL cards:

The 1962 and 1963 CFL sets are loaded with literally dozens of players whose names are magical to me to this very day.
