Canada Post issues red and yellow delivery service alerts for parts of B.C.

CANADA Post on Tuesday issued red and yellow delivery service alerts for parts of British Columbia due to inclement weather and snow.

A red service alert means that Canada Post is suspending delivery for the day and not sending its delivery agents out or recalling them.

A yellow service alert means Canada Post is going to do its best to deliver, but there may be delays. Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so. The safety of its employees is its number one priority, says Canada Post.

Red delivery service alerts were issued for the following regions:

  • Delta
  • Duncan
  • Langley
  • North Vancouver (upgraded from a yellow)
  • South Vancouver
  • Surrey
  • White Rock
