Keeping You Connected Through the Canada Post Strike

While we await resolution to the Canada Post strike, we’ve prepared alternative solutions to keep the Canadian seed sector informed and supported.

While we at the Alberta Seed Guide, like many Canadians, are surprised by the continued Canada Post strike, we are — as always — committed to supporting our partners and moving forward with our business. We hope that the national strike will be resolved before the end of the year. If the mail disruption continues into 2025, however, we have proactively planned the following:

  • Expanded Distribution Channels: We’ve secured strong distribution opportunities at various industry events nationwide.
  • Enhanced Digital Presence: We’ve bolstered our already strong digital offerings, including email communications, website resources, and social media platforms, to keep you informed and connected.
  • Key Pick-Up Locations: We’ve identified convenient pick-up locations in partnership with organizations across the country. Stay tuned for details if/when needed.

We hope Canada Post and its workers reach a mutually beneficial deal as soon as possible. Until then, know that we at Alberta Seed Guide, have strong alternatives in place. Strike or no strike, we’ll continue connecting, informing and serving the Alberta seed industry.

A heated discussion erupts over the logic behind the government's cuts to AAFC research farms in Lacombe, Indian Head, and Quebec City. MPs question why core, decades-old scientific infrastructure is being deemed 'not core' while other, controversial programs were funded. The Deputy Minister is repeatedly pressed for the actual net savings of the decision versus the expense of relocating research programs.
