Access to Annual General Meeting Materials
On November 15, 2024, all postal service by Canada Post was suspended as a result of labour action by the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (the "Postal Strike"). On December 16, 2024, Canada Post announced the resumption of its operations and receipt and pick up of new parcels and mail to start on December 19, 2024. As a result, Canada Post has warned of delays to the backlog of items already in the system. Given the sizable backlog and potential operational challenges, it may take some time for Canada Post to regain its usual rhythm. The Company's upcoming annual general meeting (the "Meeting") will be held virtually on Thursday, January 9, 2025 at 11:00 a.m. (Toronto Time).
