In follow-up to the potential of a Canada Post Strike we are keeping close tabs to recommend next steps. In the meantime, if your mail/package is urgent, we strongly advise you to consider a carrier or private delivery company (we can help with suggestions/logistics). Email may also work for you as a solution.

Here's what you need to know if a lockout happens:

Can I drop off mail?

As most Canada Post outlets will be closed if a lockout happens and though rural postal outlets, which operate under a different union, will be open, they won't be accepting or delivering mail. 

How will this impact outgoing mail here at Humber?

So that outgoing mail within does not get misplaced while we wait for service to resume the above (outgoing mail will not be picked up by our team) will also apply. All Humber internal mail will be picked up as normal. 

What will be delivered by Canada Post?

Only mail deemed "essential" by the government will still be delivered on the 20th of each month. The essentials are socio-economic cheques, such as child tax benefits, disability benefits, Old Age Security Pension, Canada Pension Plan benefits and benefits for veterans.

Again, as the strike is not firm, we will keep you up to date as this issue unfolds. If you have any questions please contact our shipping and receiving departments at 416.675.6622 x4363 (North) or x3245 (South)

Thank you,
