Canada Post issues apology to woman denied mail because of MMIWG dress
It’s a symbol that represents the thousands of Missing and Murdered Indigenous Women across Canada, and a local woman is raising awareness about the significance of the red dress after allegedly being told by Canada Post to remove it.
“Yesterday I noticed the mail carrier out front on the sidewalk and I thought ‘oh OK I have some mail’ and what I got was a note,’’’ said Wendy Chambers, who added that the dress has been hanging at her Mission Hill area home since May 5.
The note read: “Object which is hanging, impedes delivery to mail box. Thank-you Canada Post.”
