Canada Post is sending every household a postcard to send to a loved one for free

Canada Post is sending a free prepaid postcard to every household in the country to help citizens stay connected during the continuation of the Covid-19 pandemic.

The government postal agency is planning to send about 13.5 million postcards across the county, according to a news release. They are part of the "Write Here Wrote Now" campaign established by the Canada Post in September to encourage letter writing as a means of connection. "Meaningful connection is vital for our emotional health, sense of community and overall well-being," Doug Ettinger, president and CEO of Canada Post, said in a statement.
