The Union representing postal workers of the Bois-Francs local section is launching a great initiative for local children as the holiday season approaches and in the midst of a national conflict at Canada Post.
A month before Christmas, the strike at Canada Post portends the worst for the Santa Claus mail service, expected and coveted by thousands of children across the country. Many families and children will probably change their minds and simply not contact Santa Claus this year, for fear that their letter will never be read or returned, to the great dismay of many little ones.
It is precisely to keep the holiday spirit and the magic of Christmas alive in the hearts of children that the Union of Postal Workers of the Bois-Francs local section invites them to write a very detailed list and to come drop it off directly at the post office Thursday and Friday.
Of course, meanwhile, the strike continues.
These letters intended for Santa Claus will therefore not be processed by the postmen until the end of the labor dispute. This initiative was set up by the Union to continue to please local children and invite them to write down their gifts, despite a labor conflict.
The Bois-Francs local section of Canada Post extends from Warwick to Tring-Jonction, via La Guadeloupe and Thetford Mines.
Three post offices in the region and their postmen will be waiting for the children with their letters on Thursday and Friday.
Victoriaville post office – 133 rue Saint-Jean-Baptiste from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
Plessisville post office – 1485 Avenue Saint-Louis from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m.
Thetford Mines post office – 8 rue Notre-Dame Est from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.
This meeting with the citizens will, at the same time, allow the postmen to address the population, discuss the issues of the conflict and their demands, but first and foremost, allow the children to continue to fully live their youth in this holiday season.
