Does the mail come on civic holiday

In Canada, the mail delivery schedule may vary on civic holidays, depending on the province or territory. Here's a general breakdown:

1. Federal holidays: Canada Post, the national postal service, observes federal holidays, which are:
   • New Year's Day (January 1)
   • Good Friday
   • Victoria Day (third Monday in May)
   • Canada Day (July 1)
   • Labour Day (first Monday in September)
   • Thanksgiving Day (second Monday in October)
   • Remembrance Day (November 11)
   • Christmas Day (December 25)

On these days, mail delivery is usually suspended, and post offices are closed.

2. Provincial and territorial holidays: Some provinces and territories have their own civic holidays, which may affect mail delivery. For example:
   • Alberta: Heritage Day (first Monday in August)
   • British Columbia: Family Day (second Monday in February)
   • Ontario: Family Day (third Monday in February)
   • Quebec: National Holiday (June 24)
   • Saskatchewan: Heritage Day (third Monday in August)

On these days, mail delivery may be affected, but it's not always suspended. You can check with your local post office or Canada Post's website to confirm the delivery schedule.

3. Rural areas: In rural areas, mail delivery may be affected by civic holidays, as some rural routes may not be serviced on these days.

To confirm the mail delivery schedule on a specific civic holiday, you can:

• Check Canada Post's website for holiday hours and delivery schedules.
• Contact your local post office or mail carrier for more information.
• Check with your local government or municipality for specific holiday schedules.

Remember to plan ahead and allow extra time for mail delivery on civic holidays, if necessary.
