Closures and service interruptions

Important information for customers affected by wildfires in British Columbia

Canada Post recognizes the difficulties facing many residents in communities across the province of British Columbia resulting from wildfires. Our team is actively working to put contingency measures in place, assessing the situation and options, to best serve residents of these communities and to keep them connected. The safety of our employees is our number one priority and Red and Yellow delivery service alerts have been issued.

As of August 25, wildfires are impacting mail services to the following communities:

• Abbotsford
• Blind Bay
• Celista
• Chilliwack
• Eagle Bay
• Gold Bridge
• Kelowna
• Lake Country
• Lee Creek
• Magna Bay
• Maple Ridge
• Mission
• Scotch Creek
• Seton Portage
• Shalalth
• Sorrento
• St Ives
• Tappen
• West Kelowna

In the meantime, all Lettermail items and mail that cannot be delivered are being held in safe and secure Canada Post facilities until contingency plans are in place.

We thank those affected for their patience in this difficult time. Please continue to check this website regularly for updates.
