Update Regarding Canadian Union of Postal Workers Strike and Impact on Judiciary Operations

Friday, December 20, 2024

Canada Post reports that as of December 17, 2024, mail service has resumed but there will be delivery delays through the remainder of 2024 and into January 2025. The notices sent by the Bankruptcy Noticing Center (BNC) that were being held at the U.S./Canadian border are now being processed for delivery.

As of December 10, 2024, the BNC contractor has bypassed notices that specifically contain the word Canada in the last line of the address (these notices were not bypassed between November 15 and December 9, 2024.). Bypassed addresses are indicated as such on the BNC Certificate of Notice. As part of the bypass process, the BNC notifies the debtor's attorney of mail that is bypassed as undeliverable, and the BNC notifies the court if the debtor is pro se and for adversary proceedings.

This announcement will be updated as more information becomes available.
