Support Our Troops

The men and women of the Canadian Forces have demonstrated time and again that they will rise to any challenge. Let your Canadian Forces members know you appreciate their service by sending them a card or letter. Alternately, e-mail messages can be sent to our troops through the Canadian Forces website. Just click on the “Write to Our Troops” logo on the left of this page.

The Canadian Forces members serving overseas appreciate receiving correspondence from individuals as well as from groups, schools and organizations from across Canada. Post cards and single cards in envelopes may be sent to any of the addresses below. Please note that only parcels as described in the "Bulk Mail" paragraph below are acceptable and must addressed to “Any Canadian Forces Member”. Parcels that contain items other than correspondence, such as care packages or donations, will be returned to the sender at the sender’s expense.

Bulk mail

Schools and organizations often conduct letter writing campaigns to our deployed personnel. Such groups prefer to bundle the letters (or cards) in a parcel as a cost saving measure. Note that parcels are not to contain any other item other than correspondence. If enclosures other than letters, cards or postcards are detected the parcel will be returned to the sender at the sender’s expense.

NOTE: If you would like to hear back from CF members, please include an email address or website link in your letter in addition to your return address. This makes it easier for those missions that cannot send out letters due to operational issues.

Below is a list of all of the current Operational Addresses where letters can be sent:
