Organization:
Government of Canada - Office of the Prime Minister
Free Birthday Stuff:
A congratulatory letter and certificate from the Prime Minister of Canada for your 65th birthday or any five-year increment thereafter (70th, 75th, 80th etc.).
What you have to do:
Fill out the Prime Minister Greetings form from the website of the Prime Minister of Canada. If you want this in time for a birthday, it should be done 6 weeks in advance. You can fill out the form retroactively to about 6 months. You need to supply the recipient's contact information (name, address, and birthdate only), along with the requester's information (including email address and phone number), so they can reach out to you with any info.
The low down:
It's kind of cheesy and funny, but why not get congratulated by the Prime Minister? That'll be a whole lot of envelope licking if everyone in Canada started registering for their birthday greetings and certificates for their loved ones. Or if you are turning 65, 70, or 75, heck, do it for yourself! I thought it was pretty funny when I heard this. Apparently, you can do this for various levels of government.
