City still delivering important notices amid Canada Post strike

The City of Sarnia is reminding homeowners to keep an eye on their mail, despite the ongoing strike by Canada Post workers.

The city said it's still ensuring critical mail, such as planning notices, are delivered via alternate means.

Those using a community mailbox will have essential city mail delivered to their doorstep instead.

Residents who usually mail payments, applications, registrations or other documents to the city are being told the mail service disruption could delay or prevent their delivery.

We're being encouraged to use alternate payment or delivery methods where possible including submitting documents to the city by email or online, utilizing online or bank-based payment methods, and utilizing in-person delivery of payments or other documents.

Property taxes can be paid without using the mail.

You can set up pre-authorized payment plans, pay at your financial institution where possible, pay in person via debit, cheque, or cash or by internet via your banking app or website.

Parking tickets can be paid online, in-person at the city hall customer service desk, or by calling 519-332-0330.

More information can be found by visiting the city's online services page.

Those needing help with alternate payment, delivery, or pick-up options or arrangements for a service or program, can call the number above or email city@sarnia.ca.
