CANADA POST STRIKE

A possible mail strike by Canada Post is expected to take place this month. As a result, there may be a delay in the shipping and delivery of all book orders sent from our bookshop.

Please note that we do not use courier companies such as UPS, FedEx or Purolator for shipments outside of Canada.

We regret any disruption or inconvenience to our valued customers that a postal strike may have, however, we are at their mercy. If they do strike, it is my hope that the Federal government will force back-to-work legislation which is what they have done in the past.
