At Canada Post, we are trusted with delivering 11 billion pieces of mail annually to Canadians scattered throughout the second-largest country on earth. While we strive to provide the best service possible, we must also be cognizant of the hazard that snow and ice can present. Health and safety is a top priority for Canada Post, especially at this time of year when winter weather conditions along with increased volumes can present particular challenges for delivery employees.

This year, Canada Post will once again take a pro-active approach to help our communities stay safe by reminding our customers and the public of the role they play to ensure that our delivery employees are not injured when delivering the mail.

To build awareness on the importance of winter safety, we will reinforce the message through:

• Public service announcements asking people to keep their entrances, walkways and steps clear of snow and ice



• Promotional campaign from December 14, 2009 to March 7, 2010 including:
  • Partnership with The Weather Network
  • "Clear the Way & WIN" contest featuring a Grand Prize of $5,000 and up to 100 instant prizes to be won from Canadian Tire.
  • National Unaddressed Admail^TM flyer piece to 1.5 million households

Please do your part to help prevent slips, trips and falls by keeping entrances, walkways and stairs around your home and businesses clear of snow and ice. Be sure to check out our safety tips. When you clear the way, everyone wins!
