Edmonton romantics to deliver 1,000 love letters, to strangers

Valentine's Day is just days away, and starting Tuesday some lucky Edmontonians may receive a special gift: an anonymous love note, placed under a windshield wiper, tucked under a bicycle seat, or handed out directly on the LRT by a romantic well-wisher.

The secret Valentine's cards are part of the Love Letters 2 Strangers project by local photographer Ashley Green.

Green said she started Love Letters 2 Strangers as a way to include those who might otherwise feel left out on the year's supposedly most romantic day.

Dozens of volunteers in Edmonton gathered at the Woodcroft Library Saturday to craft over 1,000 anonymous Valentine's notes. (CBC)
"Maybe you don't have a significant other, or maybe you're a little bit bitter about Valentine's Day," Greene said.

"This is a great way to get involved where you can just show love to the person bagging your groceries or sitting beside you on the bus."
