More than 11,000 Canada Post volunteers, both staff and retirees, help with Canada Post's Write to Santa program. Every year, over a million children from all around the world take advantage of the program by writing to Santa and receiving a reply. Letters are answered in the language in which the letter was written, including Braille. Email is answered in English or French.

Canada Post asks parents to make sure letters to Santa do not include treats for Santa, like cookies. All mail should include a return address so Santa can answer, and must include the proper postage. Teachers are asked to send their classroom letters by December 4.

Santa's mailing address is

SANTA CLAUS
NORTH POLE
H0H 0H0
CANADA

Children can also write to Santa using the email form on the Canada Post site.
