If you enjoy working directly with the public and want to contribute to an essential service in the North, this could be a great fit.

It’s a role that requires both efficiency and a genuine willingness to help people.

Given the nature of the position, you’ll need to be physically fit enough to lift mail containers weighing up to 50 lbs, push or pull boxes, sort mail, and stand for extended periods of time.

Canada Post operates on core values of Trust, Respect, and Deliver — and this position is a direct reflection of those principles in action.
