Nothing will stop the magic of Christmas as postal workers ensure Santa Claus will still receive holiday letters.
It has been 2 weeks since the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) went on a nationwide strike halting mail delivery. But Shane Lorenz, president of CUPW Local 786, says no strike will stop Santa from receiving letters from children.
CHLY met with Lorenz to talk about how the tradition of sending letters to Santa, and Santa sending letters back will not be affected by the strike.
Also, CHLY spoke with Christina Pearson, who has worked for Canada Post for 25 years and has volunteered with the Santa letter exchange since she started working for them.
Parents and their children are encouraged to drop off their letters to Santa at 140 Terminal Ave from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. and 1847 E Wellington Rd from 8 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. Monday to Friday.
