*UPDATED OCTOBER 15*

While the full postal strike has ended and service is resuming, Canadians should still expect uncertainties, delays and a backlog of mail due to rotating strikes. Mail and parcels will not be delivered or picked up in areas where there are rotating strikes. Stay up-to-date by checking the Canada Post page here: https://bit.ly/2025_Canada-Post_Strike-Updates

The ongoing Canada Post strike is causing significant postal delays, affecting orders you may have placed recently and much more. Unfortunately, some of the resources you’ve ordered may be delayed for a while longer. In the meantime, you can always call us if you need to reach out about a specific topic (see below), or use one of the various ways to stay connected.

Many of our resources are available online in PDF format for printing, so please consider this as an option during the strike.

Just a reminder, too, that you can drop off cheques in person at the national office (50 Wynford Dr., Toronto). Ring the bell at the front door, and someone will be glad to help you. You can also arrange with us to pick up resources you would like to order during the strike if you live or happen to be in the vicinity of 50 Wynford Drive. We’d love to see you!

And be sure to check presbyterian.ca for updates.

Completed Marriage Forms
Clergy should contact their provincial Office of the Registrar to seek options for submitting completed marriage forms during the postal disruption.
