If you’re heading to the Post Office to mail a letter today, remember to pack a little extra cash. Canada Post are increasing the cost of sending a first class letter within the country to 57 cents from 54, while letters going to the US will cost a dollar, which is an increase of two cents. Letters heading outside North America will rise by five cents to $1.70. Canada Post is attributing the rate increases as a measure to raise funds to buy new machinery.
