US EditionWhat happens to your mail and parcels during the Canada Post strike?
The strike began over government service changes and union demands for better wages and conditions, halting mail and parcel deliveries nationwide for over a week.
- On September 25, Canada Post employees initiated a countrywide work stoppage that suspended all mail and parcel deliveries throughout Canada for the duration of the strike.
- The strike followed the federal government's announced overhaul of Canada Post to modernize services and improve financial sustainability, which the postal workers oppose while seeking better wages.
- Government bodies and health services in Nova Scotia are adjusting by promoting alternative payment options, shifting appointment communications to phone and email, and establishing mail drop-off services at Access Nova Scotia starting October 14.

- The strike causes ongoing delays and backlogs, prompting continued use of alternate communication and payment methods and advising residents to monitor mail closely and verify payments after October 17.
