What is it?

Northern Services has established linked deliveries across Canada's North to create a network of ocean-to-ocean-to-ocean mail service, one that increasingly follows the shortest-distance rule of other networks.

Who is it for?

Canada has the second largest land mass in the world. Northern Services covers 72% of it. These forbidding immensities had long kept air and postal routes fanning upwards and downwards, in north-south arrays. A decade ago, a letter mailed from Inuvik, NT, to Iqaluit and Qikiqtarjuaq (Broughton Island would have passed through Edmonton and Montreal making an expensive 2500 kilometre trip. That's changed.
