Potential Canada Post Strike: How It May Impact Municipal Services

There was a temporary back to work order issued in relation to the national Canada Post labour disruption at the end of 2024, negotiations between Canada Post and the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) are ongoing.

There is an impending strike or service interruption for as early as May 22, 2025. As such, the Township of Southgate would like to explore other service options should the strike take effect.

A Canada Post strike could impact the timely delivery of important municipal documents, including property tax bills, water and wastewater bills, invoices, and public notices.

To avoid delays or penalties and guarantee continuous access to this information, the Township strongly recommends using the following alternative options:

• Contact us via phone at (519) 923-2110 or Email info@southgate.ca or proptax@southgate.ca to receive bills electronically
• Enroll in our pre-authorized payment plan
• Make your payments online

Important: The account holder is responsible for ensuring all payments are made by their respective due dates, regardless of any mail service disruptions.
