Government of Yukon ensures continued access to essential services during postal service disruption

In response to the Canada Post labour disruption announced today, the Government of Yukon has established steps to ensure Yukoners and businesses maintain access to essential cheques and payments. Individuals receiving government payments by direct deposit will remain unaffected and will continue to receive funds as usual. Communities will continue to receive essential mail through their community post office.

For Yukoners with questions about where to pick up Yukon government-issued assistance cheques, how to make payments, obtain government-issued identification, licences and certificates or apply for Yukon student financial assistance during a Canada Post labour disruption, they can contact the appropriate department listed below or contact the government's general information line.

General inquiries

The Government of Yukon will hold all non-critical mail until Canada Post resumes normal service. Once regular postal operations restart, mail will be sent with Canada Post as soon as possible.
