Rediscovering the power of letters

Texting and emailing have become second nature to many of us. They're quick, efficient, and easy to send and forget.

But are they as personal as sitting down with a pen and paper and writing someone a message by hand? We don't think so. 

That's why on this Now or Never, Ify and Trevor are showing you just how powerful a handwritten letter can be.

You'll meet a Grade 5 class who wrote letters to a residential school survivor — and are reading them to him for the very first time. 

And a mother who decided to write a "pre-dementia love letter" to her kids so they will never forget how much she loves them. 

Plus, a woman who has been saving every single piece of her children's letters, notes and artwork for 20 years... and needs help throwing some of them away.
