Snowfall causes Canada Post to suspend mail delivery service for Vancouver Island

Jan 6, 2022 | 2:36 PM

NANAIMO — Due to remnants from a winter storm impacting large portions of the South Coast, Canada Post announced it suspended mail delivery service on Jan 6.

The ‘red alert’ was issued as the latest dump of snow has made it unsafe for their employees to do their job on Vancouver Island, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley.

Canada Posts asks customers to clear the snow and ice from their walkways, stairs, and driveways to ensure safe access to the front door when service resumes.

A recent blast of snow kept Canada Post delivery workers at home on Dec. 29, which impacted the Nanaimo and Ladysmith areas.
