Canada Post will continue program of free delivery to deployed troops
Ottawa - Canada Post announced today it will continue providing free delivery of letters and parcels from family and friends to Canadian troops deployed in Afghanistan and elsewhere overseas.
Free parcel service for family and friends of deployed Canadian troops will be provided from October 20, 2008 to January 16, 2009. Last year Canada Post forwarded 11,000 parcels to our Canadian troops serving in Afghanistan and elsewhere overseas. Family and friends of deployed troops will also be able to continue sending lettermail free throughout 2009. At the end of this period, Canada Post and the Department of National Defence will jointly evaluate the program.

NOTE the FREE parcel service through January 16 2009.

I'm not sure how to track Capt. Lennox down but the overseas one mailing address for Kandahar that I found is:

(OP ATHENA - Kandahar, Afghanistan )

RANK/INITIALS/NAME
UNIT/SECTION
Provincial Reconstruction Team
OP ATHENA
PO BOX 5005 STN FORCES
BELLEVILLE ON K8N 5W6
