If you’re waiting on a package and live in the Okanagan, you won’t be getting it today.
Wildfires burning throughout the Southern Interior are affecting mail and parcel delivery in some regions of British Columbia, Canada Post said in a Monday alert.
They’re putting contingency measures in place, assessing the situation and options, to best serve residents of these communities and to keep them connected.
“Where delivery is not possible, all Lettermail and parcels are being held securely,” Canada Post officials said in a press release.
“The safety of our employees is our number one priority and Red and Yellow delivery service alerts have been issued.”
A red alert means Canada Post is suspending delivery and not sending their delivery agents out or they are recalling them. A yellow alert indicates they are going to do their best to deliver, but there may be delays.
