You can now visit an Access Nova Scotia location to send documents to the provincial government that cannot be mailed because of the ongoing Canada Post workers’ strike.
It only applies to mail for the provincial government and for documents that can’t be sent electronically. Power bills, holiday cards, passport applications, and personal mail do not count.
The drop-off service started on Wednesday.
Starting on Nov. 30, people can pick up some “high-priority provincial government items” at the centres, as well.
The province says they’ll contact people to tell them which Access Nova Scotia to visit. Pick-up will be open on Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. and people should let two Saturdays pass from the time they’re contact before they go to pick-up their things using government ID.
The length of the service depends on how long workers on strike, the province says.
Some government departments have already made special arrangements for people to pick up things like income assistance checks and rent supplements directly from the department.
Canada Post workers went on strike on Friday last week.
