Canada Post Disruptions: What You Need to Know

On September 25, postal workers with CUPW began labour action over issues including wages and working conditions. During this period, many notices and services that the City would provide will be paused, and may require residents to seek out alternative means for matters such as paying property taxes and receiving public notices about development applications. 

The duration of this labour strike is unknown at this time, but I appreciate your patience and understanding. I would also encourage you to support local businesses during this disruption as these particular strikes can be very harmful to their operations. 

My office will be doing our best to deliver critical information to residents through available communication channels. Please check my website for updates and my event calendar for upcoming events. If you have an item that would be going to Toronto and East York Community Council, other committees I sit on or City Council, sign up for updates here. The City maintains a list of active construction notices that you can find here; I will be putting significant notices on my website under updates for easier access. Finally when appropriate, I will also be distributing information through my Facebook, Instagram, Threads, and Bluesky accounts, so please follow me in this spaces.

During a Canada Post labour disruption, some City of Toronto services and programs may be affected. The City is committed to ensuring that residents and businesses are able to access services and programs with minimal disruption. Contingency plans are in place to provide alternative options for items normally delivered and received by mail. Residents and businesses with questions about City services and programs that are affected by the Canada Post labour disruption can contact 311.

Payments normally mailed to the City must be made by their due date. Please call 311 to find out about alternative ways to pay. More information about affected services can also be found on the City's website. These impacted services include:
  • Automated Speed Enforcement & Red-Light Camera Penalties
  • Business Grants, Incentives & Rebates
  • Business Improvement Areas (BIAs)
  • Business Licensing
  • Committee of Adjustment
