    MAIL STRIKE: Traffic fines and parking tickets must still be paid on time in Mississauga

    Traffic fines and parking tickets still need to be paid on time during the Canada Post mail strike, Mississauga officials say.

    In an online update for residents postal workers launched a work action On Friday morning, City of Mississauga officials said a number of city services would be affected as long as the strike continued.

    “Due to the postal strike, delivery and receipt of mailed documents, payments and notices may be delayed,” officials said in their update, adding that they encourage people to use the options in online or in person from the city to do business. “The Canada Post strike will disrupt postal services to and from Mississauga. The City is prepared and advising residents on other options for accessing City services during this disruption.

    For more information, residents can call the City’s information line at 311.

    “The city is working to minimize the impact on residents and businesses during this work disruption, wherever possible,” officials added.
    Residents should be aware of the following service interruptions:
    • Animal Services — starting Friday and for the duration of the strike, Animal Services will not send pet renewal notices
    • Library — Mississauga Library’s interlibrary loan program to be suspended during strike
    • Mobile Licenses — Mobile Licensing Services will not send renewal notices by mail
    • Provincial Offenses Court: Individuals are still responsible for paying fines by set due dates using payment methods such as in person, over the phone and online.
    • Parking tickets – people still need to pay their parking tickets using in-person, over-the-phone, or online payment methods. In addition, no overdue notices will be sent by mail until the end of the strike.
    • Property taxes – residents still have to pay property taxes during the strike. Billing information, payment amounts and account balances can be viewed online at mississauga.ca/tax under view property tax information or by contacting 311.
    • Council and Council Committees — Public notices, including notices of adjustment committees, may be viewed online through the City’s website.
    City officials say they will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

    Canada Post workers went on strike Friday, a move expected to create delays and other disruptions in the delivery of mail and packages – just as the Crown corporation prepares for what is typically its busiest period.

    The Postal Workers Union claims to have made this decision after “a year of negotiations without much progress”.

    Canada Post says it is “disappointed” with this decision, which “will have a significant and immediate impact on millions of Canadians, small businesses and charities who rely on Canada Post during the busy holiday season.”
