Anyone waiting for a package from Canada post will not get it today.

A statement from the national mail service said due to the current weather conditions, a Red Service Alert has been issued for Kelowna, Vernon and Lake Country.

Hayley Magermans, media relations, Canada Post, said a Red Service Alert means “we are suspending delivery for the day and not sending our delivery agents out as the weather conditions have made it unsafe.

“Delivery will resume once conditions improve and it is safe to do so. We would also like to remind Canadians to clear a path by clearing snow and ice from their walkways, stairs and driveways.”

Magermans said an alert can be for a particular community or an entire province, depending on the weather event. These alerts are posted on the Canada Post website, as well as on Twitter and Facebook.
