With the shutdown of Canada Post as a result of labour issues with the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW), alternate pick-up locations have been established for Athabasca Advocate subscribers, effective June 21.
Subscribers simply need to attend the pick-up location for their community, and identify themselves as Advocate subscribers to receive a paper.
Pick-up locations are as follows. The June 21 issue of the Athabasca Advocate will not be mailed to subscribers within these communities:
Athabasca (all T9S postal codes except 1S1 and 1S2) — Athabasca Advocate
Summer Villages surrounding Baptiste Lake (South Baptiste, West Baptiste, Sunset Beach, Whispering Hills, White Gull) — Athabasca Advocate
