The snow in BC this week has caused issues at every turn, from the daily commute to the daily mail. According to Canada Post, they are temporarily suspending operations in BC due to the weather.
On Tuesday, December 20, Canada Post issued a red service alert for parts of BC. They are suspending delivery for the day and either recalling agents or not sending them out at all.
“Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so,” said Canada Post. “The safety of our employees is our number one priority.”
