Holiday Postal Service

For the 21st consecutive year, Canada Post will provide free regular parcel services for family and friends of deployed CAF/DND members commencing October 13, 2026 and ending January 16, 2027. Parcels will be delivered free of charge from any Canada Post retail outlet to designated CAF bases and then forwarded through the CAF postal system to members overseas. 

Additionally, Canada Post will continue to provide free delivery of letters (under 500 grams) to deployed troops until December 31, 2027.

To ensure the proper customs declaration forms and correct addressing info, all letters and parcels must be deposited at a Canada Post retail outlet. Mail deposited in street letter boxes will not be delivered.
