Islanders who receive a monthly Social Programs payment by mail (including Social Assistance, AccessAbility Supports, Child Care Subsidy, At Home Caregiver Benefit and Seniors Independence Initiative) can take steps to avoid service interruptions due to the Canada Post strike.
Clients are asked to pick up their cheques from their local social programs office. Cheques will be available beginning Friday at 8:30am through to 5:00pm at offices in Charlottetown, Summerside, O’Leary, Montague, and Souris.
The plan will remain in effect and cheques will not be mailed out even if the Canada Post strike ends before Friday.
