Starting November 15, 2024, disruption of Canada Post services

Due to the labour disruption at Canada Post, homeowners who would be receiving a cheque from the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program, the Canada Greener Homes Grant and the Canada Heat Pump Bonus, as well as offline applicants who are expecting written communications from the Canada Greener Homes Initiative should expect delays.

We invite you to visit the Canada Post website for the latest information and service updates.
