Time to get back to some good, old handwriting and send a postcard to a friend or loved one.
Canada Post has sent every household a free, prepaid postcard and you can mail it for free to anyone you choose, anywhere in the country.
It’s something great we can all do, while we keep our distance to fight the spread of COVID-19.
Because staying connected with friends and loved ones is harder than ever, so to help Canadians stay in touch now, Canada Post will deliver approximately 13.5 million postcards, one to every residential address in the country.
There are six versions of the postcard, each one offering a simple message of love, appreciation or thanks.
“Meaningful connection is vital for our emotional health, sense of community and overall well-being. Canada Post wants everyone to stay safe, but also stay in touch with the people who matter to them,” says Doug Ettinger, President and CEO of Canada Post.
You’re encouraged to share photos and videos of sending and receiving your postcard using #WriteHereWriteNow.
