In the event of a national postal disruption, Canada Life is ready to help ensure continued service for members. Learn how. 

News & updates

As you may be aware, Canada Post is currently in contract negotiations with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). If a new collective agreement is not reached, CUPW will be in a position to initiate a labour disruption, following a 72-hour advance notice.  

In the event of a labour disruption, national postal service will be unavailable. As a result, Canada Life will be unable to deliver outgoing mail including statements, general correspondence and cheques until postal services have resumed.
