During Christmas 2006 Santa received 1.06 million letters and 44,166 emails (each one responded to with the help of Santa’s very special Canada Post elves). More than 11,000 Canada Post volunteers helped respond to these letters in 11 languages, including Braille.

Since Canada Post employees began helping Santa answer his holiday mail more than 30 years ago, Santa, with Canada Post’s assistance, has enjoyed receiving and replying to more than 15 million letters.
