Canada Post worker saves the day after child forgets stamp on postcard to grandma
Some quick thinking from a summer camp counsellor and a Canada Post worker has reunited a once-lost postcard with its intended recipient.
Daya Modayur, a 12-year-old who recently attended a camp at the MacPhee Centre for Creative Learning in Dartmouth, N.S., said she made a postcard for her grandmother while she was away — but despite the hard work she put into constructing the sentimental letter, one crucial component was left out.

“If you find it, can you please return it to the MacPhee Centre or use the stamp on the back of this page? We would really appreciate it.”

To Modayur’s surprise, Canada Post located and sent her letter to the desired destination.
“I thought it would kind of just get lost in there,” she admitted.
“It was really nice that guy, or girl, did that.”
