Service Disruption Notice – Canada Post Labour Action

 

Please be advised that due to the ongoing Canada Post labour disruption, delivery of VIERA shipments may be delayed.

 

We are actively exploring alternative solutions to minimize the impact on service and appreciate your understanding during this time.

 

If timely receipt of materials or exams is essential and pickup is a feasible option, we encourage you to make arrangements for in-person collection.

 

Exam return dates will be extended however if you anticipate a longer length of time in which the exams will be returned, please contact us to let us know. viera@nanaimo.ca
