Shared on behalf of Blake Rathje, Manager, Strategic Sourcing & Distribution
On October 11, 2025, the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) transitioned from a nation-wide strike to rotating strikes and Canada Post has resumed commercial pickups and drop-offs as of October 15, 2025.
Rotating strike activity may be isolated to specific locations, affecting those areas for a specified period of time. During a rotating strike, Canada Post will accept, process and deliver parcels in unaffected areas, but delays are still expected. Once Canada Post processes an item, it will be secure but cannot be retrieved if that facility is affected by a rotating strike. Items will be delivered as quickly as possible after a disruption is over and operations resume.
Effective immediately, the TBRHSC Mailroom will resume normal operations. However, departments may consider sending urgent items by Purolator via our standard process (note –Purolator does not ship to PO boxes) or a local Courier. Both alternative options have an estimated delivery time of 2-3 days.
