Weekend deliveries in select cities as Canada Post works to deliver parcels held up by strike before Christmas
OTTAWA — Canada Post is making deliveries this weekend in select cities as it anticipates that a “significant portion” of items held up by the month-long strike will be delivered before Christmas.
“Canada Post has processed the parcels held in the postal system during the strike, with all these items now flowing through our network or delivered,” a statement from Canada Post said.
Canada Post says its post offices are open for business and new commercial mail can be dropped off for processing, while scheduled parcel pickup services are also back.
The Crown Corporation also says it’s still working through a backlog of international mail and parcels after workers returned to the job on Tuesday. It will also start accepting new international mail on Monday, Dec. 23.
