Canada Post building, anchor to the community: Battleford CAO
The towering Canada Post building in Battleford is no longer going to be used by the company, leaving a major hole in downtown.
Canada Post was forced out of the building last fall due to a bat infestation and announced Tuesday they are officially leaving the building they’ve occupied since 1911. Canada Post has plans to sell the old building and open a new location in Battleford.
The Town of Battleford has been in contact with Canada Post ever since the move to the temporary location, including many inquiries from Mayor Derek Mahon, who is currently on vacation.
Chief Administrative Officer for Battleford John Enns-Wind said it’s tough to see the big downtown building not have a use, even for the time being.
