UPDATE: As of October 11, 2025, Canada Post workers moved from a full, national strike to rotating strikes. Although postal services have partially resumed, Canada Post’s service guarantees are still suspended, and the Regional District of Nanaimo (RDN) does not recommend relying on postal service for any time-sensitive items. Please visit the Canada Post website for more details on the strike.
Due to the uncertainty of the postal strike, the RDN will continue with the ‘alternative to mailing in a ballot’ process that was established on October 3 and outlined in the attached public notice. Mail ballot packages for voting in the French Creek School and Parkland Purchase Referendum should not be sent via mail. The RDN has made available four mail ballot package pick up and drop off locations. In-person voting remains unaffected.
