Update: Canada Post Disruption
UPDATE-According to Canada Post, postal service is set to resume today, December 17, 2024.
However, Canada Post is also advising that it may take time for delivery service to normalize, given the backlog of mail and parcels in their system.
To avoid late fees, the Township of Howick is continuing to encourage residents to call us or come into the office for their bill amounts or sign up for the many convenient alternative payment methods online or in person. Contact staff if you require assistance or needing more information.
