Government documents, some library services and charity donations have been affected by the mail shutdown
Marvin Ryder, a professor with McMaster University’s DeGroote School of Business in Hamilton, says there are more than 80,000 passports waiting to be mailed out in Mississauga.The average number of letters people receive has dropped significantly over the years – down to just two per week compared with seven per week in 2006, according to
The federal government says those who didn’t pay extra to pick up their passports will be affected. Those who need the document urgently are advised to call Service Canada or visit in person to request the passport be made available for pickup instead. Some driver’s licence renewal notices also haven’t been delivered, so drivers may be unaware their permit has expired.
That includes Ontario residents who get a fecal immunochemical test kit by mail to screen for colorectal cancer. Typically, recipients would mail their stool sample to a lab. Now, the province is telling people to deliver their sample in person. In Vancouver, the VGH and UBC Hospital Foundation says its annual Millionaire Lottery is taking a hit amid the labour action. The campaign raises money for medical research and equipment, supporting Vancouver General Hospital, UBC Hospital and other health services.
So too, are interlibrary loan services facilitated by the Canadian Library Materials Service, which gets a reduced rate to ship materials to registered public libraries, university libraries and other libraries operated by non-profit organizations.
