Extreme winter weather impacting mail delivery in Canada. What to know
Global News
Canada Post has suspended some services in Ontario, British Columbia and Newfoundland and Labrador and is warning about delays in other parts of the country.
As an extreme cold snap continues to bite across the country, some Canadians might experience delays in sending or receiving their mail.
Canada Post suspended all delivery services for Huntsville, Ont. on Thursday due to inclement weather, snow and freezing rain.
Deliveries were also halted Wednesday for Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island in British Columbia as well as Cornerbrook in Newfoundland due to inclement weather, snow and freezing rain.
Red service alerts remained active in those locations, as of 11 a.m. ET Thursday. That means mail won’t get delivered for the day and delivery agents won’t be sent out on the road or will be asked to return.
Meanwhile, Canada Post has also issued yellow alerts for northern and southern Alberta, southern B.C., Owen Sound, Ont. as well as Deer Lake and Stephenville in N.L. due to the difficult weather conditions.
In those areas, there could be delivery delays, but the national courier service says it is doing its best to deliver.
“Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so,” the Crown corporation said. “The safety of our employees is our number one priority.”
Canada Post has been using the yellow and red service alerts since 2014.
