Drawing of Santa with text that reads: Your postie elves present: Letters to Santa. Drop off at 600 or 675 Commissioners St. wait 15-20 min for reply or leave phone number for call back. Please also include home address in case we can deliver.
Santa supports striking postal workers!
Thank you to the postal workers who are still connecting our kids with Santa during their strike. If you’re in Toronto stop by their line at commissioners with a Santa letter and solidarity (& if you can, some hot beverages or treats for folks out in the cold)
