It is probably the most famous postal code in Canada, and it is how generations of children have written to Santa Claus.

This is the story of H0H 0H0 and how it came to be!

Everything started back in 1973 when a few Canada Post employees began to answer the letters that were sent in to Santa.
These letters went to Canada Post's undeliverable mail office headquarters for each region. Vancouver was the headquarters for Western Canada, and they received 4,000 letters in 1973.

There was nowhere for the letters to go, so the Canada Post employees decided to bring some joy to the lives of Canadian children with replies.
Typically the letters were simply addressed to “Santa Claus, North Pole”.

This continued to be a small local effort to start with but it soon began to spread across Canada.

In 1982, it became a nationwide project through Canada Post and quickly grew in scope at that point.

Postmaster Roy Debolt stated in 1982 that the idea was to make Christmas a little warmer and more complete for children who write to Santa Claus.
Many of the first volunteers at this point were individuals who had retired from Canada Post.

Between 1982 and 2006, thousands of postage workers, both current and retired, volunteered their time to answer 14 million letters from Canadian children.
By 2010, that number of letters had grown to 18.5 million. Today, over 25 million letters have been received since 1982 and answered by volunteers.

Letters don't just come from Canada, but from across the world.
As a result, letters arrive in many different languages and they are answered in the language they are written in, including braille.

The postal code is further proof that Santa Claus is Canadian :)

Celebrating a special occasion?

Special people who do exceptional things should get recognized. It may be appropriate for the Municipality to help
you recognize a special someone with a Recognition Certificate from the Township of Selwyn.

A Yellow Stage at Rattling Brook Newfoundland. Last year I saw this stage and thought it would make a nice shot in misty or foggy conditions. I was back in the area this past week and had a chance to capture it with some mist and showers. I quite happy with the results. This is quickly becoming one of my favourite images.

Soaring teapot fountains give you the illusion they're actually floating while pouring water, but they are relatively simple to make and install

My regular reminder that to be ‘thunderplumped’ is to be soaked to the skin in seconds by a heavy downpour.

Smoke from wildland fires in Canada has now reached Europe.

@nasa’s Terra satellite captured this image of smoke drifting across the Atlantic Ocean and over Portugal and Spain on June 26, 2023. https://t.co/cwQSkmysyH

We’re now approaching 8 million hectares burned across Canada in this record setting start to the fire season. That’s almost 3% of our boreal forest.
