by The province says it has a plan in place to lessen the effect of the Canada Post strike on people who usually communicate with the government and receive provincial cheques by mail.
People are being encouraged to use online services and direct deposit where possible.
The province says during the strike Community Services caseworkers will contact clients who still get cheques directly to arrange pickup.
Starting on Wednesday of next week, people will be able to take some correspondence that can’t be sent electronically to an Access Nova Scotia centre.
Starting on November 30th, people who rely on the postal service for delivery of high-priority items will be able to pick them up at an Access Nova Scotia centre on Saturdays from 9 in the morning to 1 in the afternoon.
The province says that service will depend on the length of the strike.
