As the end of the year approaches, we’re entering one of the busiest seasons for donations and mailing. It’s a time when your generosity shines the brightest and makes an incredible impact on the projects we work so hard to support. However, this year, we’re facing an unexpected challenge: a Canada Post strike.
How the Canada Post Strike Affects Your Donations
Canada Post is a vital link in getting donations and receipts delivered on time, especially as many donors send their contributions by mail during this season. However, with the current strike, we’re experiencing significant disruptions in mail services. This could lead to:
- Delays in receiving your mailed donations, meaning they may not arrive before year-end deadlines.
- Delays in sending your official tax receipts for your generous contributions.
Many Ways to Donate
To avoid any delays caused by the postal disruption, we encourage you to use one of the following donation methods that don’t rely on the mail. These options are faster, more secure, and ensure your contributions make it to us on time:

Confirm Your Contact Information
While we’re discussing the Canada Post strike, it’s also the perfect time to make sure your contact information is up to date. Accurate details are crucial for sending out your 2024 tax receipts without any hiccups.
If you’ve recently moved, changed your email address, or updated your mailing details, please take a moment to let us know. If you haven’t already provided us with an email address, we strongly encourage you to do so now. This will ensure that your tax receipt can be sent electronically—on time and without the risk of postal delays—so you don’t have to worry about it getting lost in the mail.
