In the last, dear, dying days of late Canadian summer, 23 letters wound their ways across the country. All carried the same "Muskoka, Ontario" postmark. Their destinations were as varied as the people who would receive them. The big cities, Toronto, Hamilton, Calgary. The small towns, Flin Flon, Hay River, Kindersley. A juvenile detention facility near Regina. A CIT dormitory just outside of Hull, Quebec. A surf shop just off the beach in Vancouver. A potato farm on Prince Edward Island.
21 of the people expected the letters. 2 did not.
The letter was a simple form, the same in every case, asking the recipient to respond immediately. It also contained a postage paid envelope addressed to Chris MacLean, Camp Wawanakwa, Ontario.
All 23 responded within a week.
