About this location
A few stories people tell about this place
1. One morning, a regular asked the clerk, ‘Why does that mail truck keep honking its horn like that?’ Nobody knew for sure, but ever since then, everyone in line would glance up at the big red vehicle parked outside, wondering if today was finally the day it would stop. Finally, one afternoon, after weeks of honking, the truck stopped mid-honk and waved cheerfully at everyone inside. Turned out, it was just an old delivery driver with a bad throat who thought his horn was a megaphone. Everyone laughed, shook their heads, and went back to mailing their letters—except now they all waved back whenever he drove by.
2. A little girl walked into the post office one day and pointed at an envelope stuck to the counter. ‘Mommy,’ she whispered, ‘why is that letter waving?’ The clerk looked puzzled for a moment, then smiled and said gently, 'Honey, that's not a wave—it's just the wind blowing through the envelope.' The little girl nodded wisely and replied, 'Oh,' before turning to her mom and whispering, 'I thought maybe it was saying hello!'
3. One afternoon, while the Canada Post clerk was sorting letters, she heard an announcement over the intercom: 'Attention please—we’ve received a package addressed to “The Lucky One.” Whoever it is meant for, good luck!' Curious, everyone in the post office started checking their packages. A delivery driver named John even drove around the neighborhood shouting, ‘Hey, anyone here lucky today?’ Finally, after much laughter and confusion, they realized that the package had been misaddressed—and the real recipient turned out to be just another regular guy down the street who’d won a free coffee voucher!
4. At dawn, when most postal workers were just arriving, a mysterious figure in a green coat began leaving envelopes under the door of the Richmond Centre post office. One day, a delivery driver noticed an envelope addressed to ‘the person who delivers happiness’—inside was a note saying, ‘thank you for spreading joy.’ Since then, everyone in the neighborhood has left little surprises for each other, turning Canada Post into a secret kindness hub.
