Canada Post will provide free parcel service for family and
friends of deployed Canadian troops for the holiday season.
Now through Jan. 15, Canada Post will deliver parcels free
of charge to designated Canadian Forces Bases, where they will
be forwarded through the Canadian Forces postal system to 
troops overseas.
"We are pleased the Department of National Defense accepted
our offer to send regular parcels, free of charge, from
anywhere in Canada to members of the Canadian Forces deployed
overseas during the holiday season," said Moya Greene,
president and CEO of Canada Post. "It is our way of recognizing
and supporting our troops and their families during this
special time of year when separation is often most keenly
felt."
With capacity limitations on military aircraft carrying supplies to deployed forces, this offer is restricted to family and friends of the servicemen and women serving in Afghanistan, Bosnia-Herzegovina, Sinai and Jerusalem.
