CANADA Post on Tuesday issued a red delivery service alert for the following regions in B.C. due to inclement weather and snow:
- Metro Vancouver
- South Vancouver Island (specifically Duncan, Sidney and Victoria)
- Fraser Valley (specifically Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge and Mission)
A red service alert means that Canada Post is suspending delivery for the day and not sending its delivery agents out or recalling them.
Canada Post has also issued yellow alerts in the province due to inclement weather and snow, in the following regions:
- Kamloops
- Kelowna
- North and Central B.C., including Prince George
- Powell River
- Vancouver Island
Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so. Canada Post said the safety of its employees is its number one priority. An alert can be issued for a particular community or an entire province, depending on the weather event.
Tuesday’s service alerts will be posted to Canada Post’s Delivery service alerts webpage, which lists all active and archived alerts and updates.
Canada Post said: “We encourage customers to clear the ice from their walkways, stairs, and driveways, to ensure safe access to the front door for both their visitors, as well as their mail carriers, when service resumes.”
