Canada Post is saying it could be the busiest holiday season the organization has ever had in Calgary.
Officials say more than 5-million items were sorted this past weekend alone in the Calgary distribution centre.
Marcel Viveiros, director of mail operations, told Citynews the holiday season has kept them hopping.
“We’ve had an operation running 24 hours a day, seven days a week for the last five to six weeks,” explained Viveiros.
He said 3000 seasonal employees have been brought in across the country to help ensure deliveries arrive before Christmas Day, but now the only chance to get that gift under the tree on time is to express courier it overnight.
