Back to SearchKawartha Lakes - The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has issued a strike notice and will be in a legal position to strike as early as Monday October 22. Should a rotating strike action occur, the postal service would continue to operate but service disruptions may result in mail taking longer to reach its destination.
Canada Post has advised that rotating legal strikes may be isolated to one or two specific locations at a time, affecting those areas for a period of 24 hours. In that situation, Canada Post advises it will continue to accept, process and deliver mail and parcels in all other areas.
City of Kawartha Lakes residents who use the postal system are advised to consider in-person or online methods to pay their bills to ensure that payments are received by the due dates and avoid late payment charges. Please see specific instructions below.
