Canada Post delays
Canada Post has restarted operations after a nationwide strike. Mail delivery delays are expected through the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025. To ensure timely communication with BCCOHP please consider alternative methods of sending documents. These include courier or delivering materials directly to our office in Vancouver or Victoria. Please contact BCCOHP to schedule a drop-off time if you want to deliver materials in-person.
