Welcoming new customers to the Steveston Village Post Office

As a local non-profit society, Steveston Historical Society (SHS) continues to be the franchise operator of the Canada Post outlet located inside the Steveston Museum. Your support of this Post Office greatly contributes to the ability to operate this historic postal outlet and benefit our community through our ability to provide local events.

The tragic fire at Super Grocer in January, resulting in the complete loss of not only the grocery store but the Post Office, saw staff work quickly and diligently with Canada Post (CPC) to ensure that all Steveston residents were being serviced within their own community. The Post Office added 60 PO Boxes to accommodate all Super Grocer customers and have also worked with CPC to redefine the parcel delivery map to ensure that local residents could pick up parcels in Steveston at the postal outlet rather than having to travel elsewhere. With the support of the city (SHS) were also able to add two additional 15 minute parking spots (now four in total) close to the Post Office for those quicker visits.

(SHS) staff have enjoyed meeting so many new customers, and the staff’s consistent commitment to provide exceptional customer service is clearly evident by the positive feedback received almost daily that the staff are always so welcoming and helpful.
