Letter: Post office employees are heroes

April 24, 2020 by Penny Coles Opinion

I’d like to add to the heroes that you commemorated on the front page of The Local on April 16.

I visit Canada Post in Virgil on a daily basis, both for work and personal mail.  Without fail, there are three amazing employees that greet me with a smile and ensure that my mail is delivered timely to my box.  I also see that they accept and carry numerous boxed orders for wine club members to pick up, Amazon orders, on-line orders, with packages and boxes of every size and shape lining their floors.  Additionally, they stop their daily tasks to take time to deal with our many inquiries about the how, when, why and what of ensuring our mail is forwarded and received in a timely fashion.

Today I want to extend a heartfelt THANK YOU to Cindy, Quinn and Brenda (Virgil site) and also to the Canada Post staff that are stationed at the NOTL site, who are essential workers making sure we get all those above-mentioned items!

Karen Ediger, Virgil

Editor’s note: As I drop papers off at all four post offices in Niagara-on-the-Lake, I’m greeted by staff who are always friendly, helpful, and are doing an essential and amazing job during difficult times. So thank you to the staff at all post offices. And it would help them if residents would take all their mail home and recycle what they don’t want, rather than leaving it for staff to clean up.
