As arctic air continues to freeze British Columbia, Canada Post has again issued service alerts regarding mail delivery.

Canada Post has two levels of service alerts: yellow (which means deliveries are being attempted but there could be delays) and red (which means delivery has been suspended).

This week, a red alert was issued on Monday for Metro Vancouver and Vancouver Island following heavy snowfall.

Then, on Tuesday, a red alert was issued for south Vancouver Island, while yellow alerts were announced for Metro Vancouver, the Fraser Valley, Powell River, Kelowna and Kamloops plus north and central B.C.

“We encourage customers to clear the snow and ice from their walkways, stairs and driveways,” said Canada Post, “to ensure safe access to the front door for both their visitors, as well as their mail carriers, when service resumes.”

The deliver service alerts are available on Canada Post’s website.
