Mail delivery has been suspended on Vancouver Island following another dump of snow.

Canada Post confirmed Thursday afternoon it has issued a red delivery service alert for the Island, Metro Vancouver and the Fraser Valley due to winter storm conditions.

Red service alerts mean the corporation will not send its delivery agents out or is actively recalling them.

Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it’s safe to do so.

In a statement, Canada Post noted it is still encouraging customers to clear ice and snow from walkways, stairs, and driveways to ensure safe access to the front door for mail carriers when service resumes.
