Free Mail Forwarding service

Starting June 5, Canada Post is also offering free Mail Forwarding for up to 12 months to residents in wildfire zones including Creighton, Pelican Narrows, Sandy Bay, Southend, and Weyakwin.

Impacted residents have until July 5 to register for the free service online at canadapost.ca/mailforward. Canada Post says you’ll need a credit card to authenticate your identity, however, there will be no fee charged to the card. You can also register with government-issued photo ID in person at a post office. If you’re applying for someone else, you’ll need proof that you’re authorized to do so.

If you already paid for Mail Forwarding before June 5, you can call Canada Post to ask for a refund.
