Canada Post will stay in Rock Creek following the announcement that the location at the Rags Relics and Rutabagas store is closing.

The company confirmed that a business in Rock Creek will take the franchise, according to Vicki Gee, RDKB’s Area ‘E’/West Boundary director.

Community members were informed by flyers in the mail on Oct. 25, said Gee.

She says the new location will be full service, and Canada Post has a plan for the continuation of service during the transition.

Canada Post initially struggled to find a local business to assume the franchise, causing concern that a host business would not be found.

“That would mean going to CMBs (community mailboxes) and having to go to another post office to pick up parcels and to use other postal services,” said Gee.

According to Gee, this is the fourth time in less than 20 years that the post office is moving.
