Canada Post suspends deliveries due to wildfire smoke

This surprised me when I first read about it but it does make perfect sense and I'm glad they aren't putting their employees at risk. I was a little surprised to see schools open yesterday.  I hope they close if conditions don't get better.

VANCOUVER -- Smoke wafting north from wildfires on the U.S. West Coast has impacted the air quality so much that mail isn't being delivered in parts of B.C.

Canada Post made the announcement in a series of posts on Twitter Monday afternoon.

"We are suspending delivery for the day and not sending our delivery agents out as conditions have made it unsafe," the federal agency wrote.
