Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run
will take place on February 24th 2024.
Invite only for Northern Breeds
https://www.seguin.ca/en/explore-play/Seguin-Sled-Dog-Mail-Run.aspx
The Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run has been running for 38 years. Every year since 1985, "sledvelopes" with letters prepared especially for this event, are gathered, loaded onto sleds and hauled by several dog teams to Rosseau, Ontario, 17 km through the bush on groomed trails.
Teams gather and leave from the Village of Humphrey, Ontario, on Highway 141, to the cheers and good wishes from the many spectators and friends as the teams disappear in the bush on their way to Rosseau to be received by the Postmaster.
​
The "sledvelopes" are hand stamped, a very old method of cancelling mail. These "sledvelopes" have become collector items all over the world. What a wonderful surprise for a child, or even adult, to receive mail which has traveled by dogsled, pulled by eager Siberian Huskies!
​
To order your own "sledvelopes" please contact Kara through the official Seguin Sled Dog Mail Run link above.
