Potential Canada Post mail disruption

Let’s stay in touch!

Canada Post and its unionized employees are still in talks to negotiate a new contract, so a strike has been averted for now. If current negotiations are unsuccessful, however, there could still be a future interruption in mail service.

We’re watching the situation closely and we’re taking steps to ensure we continue to serve our customers and business partners in the event of an interruption in mail service.
