Anyone expecting mail may have to wait a few extra days to receive it.
This is because the Health and Safety Committee for the Canadian Union of Postal Workers deemed the conditions following the recent snowfall in Prince George to be too dangerous to allow postal carriers to head out and deliver mail.
“Trying to put out double the mail tomorrow and we’re working to get all that out in the next few days,” says CUPW local president Clark Rasmussen.
“Basically over Monday and Tuesday we’ll be doing double mail each day and pushing the stuff out as fast as possible.”
If you want, Rasmussen says you can go to the post office and pick up your own mail.
“The mail is down here at the station so if you want to come in here and grab that mail it is here, so phone ahead of time,” he says.
“We are also working with our management team currently to maybe, possibly, do delivery on Saturday and Sunday. We have members who will do that.”
Weekend delivery is a possibility but there is no word yet on if it will be safe enough for postal workers to go out.
