On Saturday, November 4, 2023, join Toronto’s First Post Office to honour those who have served our country and secured our freedoms, past and present, by writing a thank-you letter to a Veteran. Using Toronto’s First Post Office’s quills, ink, specialty paper and wax seals, these letters will then be mailed to Veterans in the region, residing in retirement and nursing homes. A portion of the proceeds will be donated to the Canadian Legion. All ages welcome. Pre-registration is required and spots are limited!
