With the possible upcoming Canada Post strike, this may cause a delay in the delivery and receipt of Town utility bills and payments.

Here are some possible options:

• Sign up for e-bills to receive your invoice immediately to your inbox (sign-up form can be found on website under “Utilities and Services”)
• Pay through online banking (contact your individual bank if you need assistance)
• Drop off payments physically at the Town Office or after hours in the drop box near the front door
• Sign up for utility autopay to have payments automatically be taken out monthly (sign-up form can be found on website under “Utilities and Services”)
