16.06.11 - Strikes in Canada

Industrial action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers has been affecting various parts of Canada since early June. The situation has not yet been resolved and Canada Post has decided to cease all operations across the country with immediate effect.

This affects all mail services within the country. Mail posted on Friday 10 June and since then may not have been delivered and will be held in Canada awaiting a change to the situation. This also means that mail handled by Canada Post bound for the UK will not be despatched at present.

Updates on the situation will follow, but in the meantime, any customers wishing to post items to Canada should check the situation at ther local post office prior to posting.
