Letters to Santa Claus should be mailed
Post Office employees in the more than
400 post offices in Huron Division
(southwestern Ontario) are once again busy
in an annual labor of leve - helping Santa
Claus with his Christmas correspondence.
This year, Canada Post expects to handle
letters from more than 50 thousand girls and
boys ( and a few adults) in the area on behalf
of the jolly old fellow.
Canada Post has helped Santa answer
more than one and a half million letters
since the Santa Letter Program was in-
augurated on a cross-country basis in 1982.
The program was meant to enhance local,
individual efforts that had been going on for
years, and to give children in many parts of
the country an opportunity to get a letter
from St. Nick for the first time.
Toward that end, replies have been
prepared in several languages (in addition
to English and French) including 'Polish,
Portuguese, Vietnamese, Dutch and
Chinese. When postal officials learned that
several children attending .a school for the
blind in Brantford had written to Santa,
replies were prepared and sent back in
braille.
For the most part, letters to Santa are
culled from the mail stream, although
several post offices have set up a box
especially for Santa's mail in the lobby. In
18 cities and towns in Huron Division, letter
carriers marching in local Santa Claus
parades are collecting thousands of letters
