Canada Post Strike
"Despite the Canada Post strike, voters who apply for special ballots will receive their packages. If you are able, you can switch your delivery method to ‘pick up’ from the Elections Office and we will notify you when it is ready.
We are also working with alternative service providers to send out special ballot packages in the coming days.”
