Canada Post is in the business of delivering the printed and electronic word. We understand the necessity of good reading and writing skills and we are sensitive to the educational needs of this country. Canada Post is committed to improving the literacy skills of Canadians.

Being literate is more than just being able to read - it is the ability to use written material to function daily in our society, to take part in the community and maintain personal independence.

The Canada Post Flight for Freedom Literacy Awards recognize success by individuals, organizations and educators in overcoming barriers caused by lack of literacy skills, and promoting innovative programs and achievement in improving literacy skills.
