Canada Post has issued what it calls a red delivery service alert for Sault Ste. Marie due to snow squalls and extreme conditions.
“A red service alert means that we are suspending delivery for the day and not sending our delivery agents out or recalling them,” Canada Post said in an email to SooToday.
“Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so. The safety of our employees is our number one priority."
Canada Post encourages 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).
