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.

The good news is that Canada Life is ready to help ensure you continued service during the labour disruption.
