You’ve got mail — snail mail, that is.

A man in north Edmonton just received a letter mailed to him in August of 1999.

“The universe and Canada Post work in mysterious ways,” Warren Wuschenny said on Friday at his home in north Edmonton, where the long-delayed mail arrived this week.

It was sent to Wuschenny by his cousin Shannon Shade, who at the time lived in Nanaimo, B.C. Shade remembers it well.

“I get slack for not sending cards to family a lot — clearly I do send them. They just need to be more patient!” she joked from Calgary, where she now lives.

The letter, complete with a 46-cent stamp, was finally delivered on Feb. 12, 2025.
