The ongoing Canada Post strike is causing some headaches for the City of Saskatoon.
According to the city, the nationwide strike by postal workers means the city can’t efficiently provide written notice to property owners whose Tax Installment Payment Plan Service (TIPPS) statements are being revised for 2025.

“The City must provide written notice for changes to withdrawal amounts, as required by federal legislation,” the City of Saskatoon explained in a statement.
“As a result, most property owners will not receive adjustments to their 2025 TIPPS withdrawal amounts for January to June 2025. Withdrawal amounts for this period will match the July to November 2024 amounts.”
The city noted that “a small portion of property owners” will be directly contacted with adjustments to their TIPPS amounts for January.
The postal strike, now in its 27th day, has halted mail deliveries across the countries as more than 55,000 workers walk the picket lines. There appears to be no end in sight, as Canada Post said on Monday that the union has increased some of its demands.
The Canadian Union of Postal Workers pushed back, saying its latest proposals on wage increases were lower than its previous demands. The union is also demanding a cost-of-living allowance and measures to improve job security.
