“With a large, integrated network of processing plants, depots and post offices across the country, stabilizing operations will take time,” it said in a release.

“We remind all Canadians to expect delivery delays through the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025.”

Postal workers went back on the job Tuesday where they began to process pending mail and accept new shipments from customers.

Along with accepting commercial volumes starting Thursday, it says small business customers can now drop off parcels at all Canada Post facilities.
