Canada Post has announced that they will be offering free mail forwarding services for residents and business affected by the Fort Simpson and Wrigley wildfires.
Effective as of July 10, affected customers will be able to access free mail forwarding services for up to 12 months, with registration being open until August 10.
This service will allow the affected person’s mail to be forwarded to a new address of their choice, allowing them to remain connected and receive vital mail from relief agencies and government bodies. It is especially important for those who regularly receive cheques in the mail.
This service can be requested either online at Canada Post’s website using a credit card (no charges will be applied) or in person at a post office with a government issued photo id.
Refunds will be automatically processed for any impacted residents or businesses who purchased mail forwarding services between June 28 and July 10.
Updates on when postal service will resume in the affected communities can be found at Canada Post’s website.
