The Maple Leaf … Forever!

Canada has often been compared to  a marriage. Tensions push and pull as the partners give and take. With persistence, tenacity, and love the bonds grow. Well this marriage has seen its share of struggles and triumphs over the past 148 years. Some challenges come within our cultural partnerships and some are part of our natural essence. Just as with families, it is not easy to keep everyone connected when they are flung across the second largest country by land mass in the world.

Historically, the railroad and Trans Canada highway are credited key players in upholding the unity. But the national family could not have survived without postal service to connect us to each other and the rest of the world. The early settlers shared news of their struggles and adventures in letters, written as they lived what became our history.Those letters are part of our rich heritage.

The first paid mail delivered within Canada happened in 1693, a mere 174 years before Confederation. The Royal Mail of Canada was official created in 1867 and later evolved to our Crown corporation, Canada Post. No easy task, the Post Office thrived on the task of establishing a system of postal offices across our vast country. Post Masters and Mistresses were entrusted with ensuring the vital network functioned through all seasons and geographical  challenges. Even 148 years on, it is not any easier.

Chains do not hold a marriage together.  It is threads, hundreds of tiny threads, which sew people together through the years. Simone Signoret
