The Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) will be in a legal strike position as of May 23, pending the outcome of ongoing negotiations. A Canada Post labour disruption may disrupt mail services to and from the City of Barrie.

In the event of a Canada Post labour disruption, property owners/residents are reminded that they are still obligated to pay tax and water/wastewater bills as well as any fines/infractions by the due date. Final tax bills have been issued, and property owners can expect to receive their bills in the mail this week. The first instalment due date for the final tax bills is June 30. For more information visit barrie.ca/PropertyTaxes.

Residents are encouraged to consider signing up for water e-billing by creating an online water billing account. You will get notified by e-mail when your bill is due—it’s fast and easy. Visit barrie.ca/WaterBilling for more information.
