Delays with Canada Post services—whether due to strikes, weather, or other interruptions—can affect the delivery of donations sent by mail. At Baycrest Foundation, we want to make sure your generosity reaches us safely and without delay, no matter the challenges with Canada Post.

To help you continue supporting seniors and those living with dementia, we offer several convenient ways to donate that don’t rely on Canada Post mail delivery.

What Canada Post Service Delays Mean for Your Donations

When Canada Post experiences service delays, mailed donations and acknowledgment letters may take longer to arrive. While we greatly appreciate donations sent by mail, processing times may be extended during these disruptions.

To avoid delays in supporting Baycrest’s vital programs, we encourage donors to use alternative donation methods.
