Due to heavy snowfall across B.C.’s south coast, Canada Post cancelled its deliveries in Metro Vancouver on Wednesday.
The agency issued a delivery “red alert” notice for the cities in the region and Vancouver Island for the day. A red alert means it is “suspending delivery, and not sending our delivery agents out or are recalling them.”
It does not say when the alert will be lifted.
“Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so,” it said in a bulletin. The safety of our employees is our number one priority.”
In the meantime, people are encouraged to clear the snow and ice from their walkways, stairs, and driveways to help workers access their doors.
