Snow Day: Canada Post suspends operations on BC's South Coast

Dec 20 2022, 10:00 pm

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.”

Citing inclement weather, these regions will not get deliveries:

  • Fraser Valley: including Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Maple Ridge, and Mission
  • South Vancouver Island: including Duncan, Victoria, Sidney
  • Metro Vancouver

Canada Post also noted customers should clear snow and ice from walkways, stairs, and driveways so that mail carriers can stay safe once service resumes.

So if you were expecting a package today, you better have some extra patience for the roads to improve.
