Does mail run on civic holiday
In Canada, mail delivery is affected by civic holidays, but it depends on the specific holiday and the location.
Canada Post (the national postal service) typically observes the following civic holidays:
- New Year's Day (January 1st)
- Good Friday (variable date, but usually in March or April)
- Victoria Day (third Monday in May)
- Canada Day (July 1st)
- Labour Day (first Monday in September)
- Thanksgiving Day (second Monday in October)
- Remembrance Day (November 11th)
- Christmas Day (December 25th)
On these holidays, mail delivery may be affected in the following ways:
- No mail delivery: In some areas, mail delivery may not take place on civic holidays. This is usually the case for rural areas or smaller communities where mail delivery is not as frequent.
- Limited mail delivery: In larger cities or urban areas, mail delivery might still occur, but with reduced hours or a limited schedule.
- Delayed mail delivery: In some cases, mail delivery might be delayed by one or two days due to the holiday.
It's essential to check with your local post office or Canada Post's website to confirm the mail delivery schedule for your specific area on civic holidays.
Keep in mind that private courier services, like Purolator or UPS, may have their own holiday schedules, which might differ from Canada Post's.
