Iqaluit’s post office offers drive-thru for parcels

Cars line up at Iqaluit’s new drive-thru pick-up for Canada Post parcels at 1057 Mivvik St. The post office has introduced the new service, when weather permits, to help with physical distancing during the COVID-19 pandemic. Drivers stop their vehicles at the barricades, park and shut off the ignition. A postal clerk then comes to the window and takes their delivery notice cards. “Stay warm in your vehicle,” says a post office announcement. “The postal clerk will collect your parcels from the post office and place them on a table near your vehicle. Take your parcels and load them into your vehicle. Follow the barricades out of the parking lot. Please drive carefully—this is a residential area!” (Submitted photo)
