About this location

A few stories people tell about this place

1. One morning, a delivery driver noticed something odd while sorting mail at Canada Post. Every time he placed letters into boxes marked ‘Canada,’ a small dog would run up and start barking furiously. Curious, the driver followed the dog one day and found it belonged to an elderly lady next door. Turned out she had trained her pet to alert her whenever important mail arrived—like bills or packages from family abroad. Since then, everyone at Canada Post teases him for having a secret canine assistant who keeps him on his toes.

2. A neighborhood kid was delivering newspapers one autumn morning when he stumbled upon an old letter addressed to ‘The Mayor of Canada Post.’ Curious, he brought it inside. Inside, an old man in a worn-out postal uniform dozed behind the counter. The boy showed him the envelope, and after a quick glance, the man yawned and said, 'Just another letter for our imaginary mayor.' He picked up a pen and wrote back: "Dear Sir, your mailman is here every day at 9 am." Everyone in town still jokes that Canada Post has its own secret leader who keeps tabs on everything.

3. A postal worker was counting letters late one night at Canada Post when she heard a strange noise coming from outside. Peering through the window, her eyes widened as she saw a small raccoon trying desperately to open the mailboxes. She quietly called for help, and soon a delivery driver arrived with some peanut butter. The little raccoon loved it so much that it forgot about the mailboxes altogether, curling up on the counter for an impromptu snack break. With the critter happily distracted, the workers were able to close everything securely—and now everyone in the neighborhood knows not to miss the afternoon’s Canada Post peanut butter special.

4. One day, during a routine afternoon shift, a postal worker was organizing packages at Canada Post when she noticed a strange note taped to every envelope. It read: ‘Please deliver this letter to yourself.’ Curious, she decided to follow one of them home. The recipient turned out to be an elderly gentleman who lived alone. When she delivered his package and mentioned the note, he smiled warmly and said, 'Oh, those were from my grandkids. They always send me letters addressed to myself.' The postal worker laughed, realizing that sometimes life delivers its best surprises through unexpected places.
