Canada Post has issued today, a red delivery service alert for Owen Sound, Wiarton and its surrounding communities due to inclement weather and snow.
A red service alert means they are suspending delivery for the day and not sending their delivery agents out
They say delivery will resume once conditions improve and the safety of their employees is their number one priority.
Canada post says an alert can be issued for a particular community or an entire province, depending on the weather event.
They say today’s service alerts will be posted to their delivery service alerts webpage, which lists all active and archived alerts and updates.
Meanwhile, they say, “We encourage customers to clear the snow and 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.”
If customers have questions regarding mail delivery, they can contact Canada Post’s Customer Service team online at canadapost.ca/support or by telephone at 1-866-607-6301 (TTY: 1-800-267-2797).
