City Services During Postal Strike
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers has announced it will be shifting from a nation-wide strike action to rotating strikes starting Saturday, October 11, 2025. The nation-wide strike started on Friday, September 26, 2025. At this point, it is unclear which areas will be impacted by rotating strike action or for how long.
If St. Albert is not subject to the rotating strike action starting October 11, mail will begin flowing to and from City facilities. If St. Albert is subject to a rotating strike action, the City has outlined alternative ways to access or pay for City services. The City recommends taking the steps you need to make sure your payments arrive on time.
