Monthly Social Programs Payments Available for Pickup During Canada Post Strike

Islanders receiving Social Programs payments by mail (e.g., Social Assistance, AccessAbility Supports, Child Care Subsidy) can pick up their cheques during the Canada Post strike at local offices starting Friday, November 29, from 8:30 AM to 5:00 PM:

 

• Charlottetown: 161 St. Peters Rd

• Summerside: 120 Heather Moyse Dr

• O’Leary: 45 East Dr

• Montague: 41 Wood Islands Rd

Cheques will not be mailed, even if the strike ends before November 29, to avoid delays. Clients must bring current ID; written authorization is required for others picking up on their behalf. Alternative arrangements can be made for those with special needs.

Clients are encouraged to switch to direct deposit. For more information, contact your Support Coordinator or call 1-877-569-0546.
