As Canada Post workers begin their strike, the McMaster community should be aware of impacts to mail and package delivery. 

  • McMaster’s Mail Services will continue to process all delivered lettermail and parcels as soon as possible. 
  • During the labour disruption, any mail or packages intended to arrive on campus via Canada Post will be delayed. Outgoing mail will still be collected and held until Canada Post operations resume. 
  • Internal departmental mail service will continue as usual.
