Postal elves are waiting for you at the Canadian Museum of Civilization!

Gatineau, Quebec, Novembre 23, 2010 — Santa Claus’ North Pole post office is once again open for business and Santa’s postal elves are anxious to help him reply to the one million letters or so he’ll once again receive. Moreover, they are expecting the children to the Canadian Museum of Civilization on Saturday to help them wrote their letter.

Santa’s Postal Elves will be on hand with special paper to help kids write their very own letter to Santa. Each one of them will receive a treat when they drop their letter in Santa’s magical mailbox, and they’ll also be sure to get a reply from the North Pole!
