UW Gazette, September 17, 1997

                              

    It doesn't look good for mail service to continue
through this fall without a strike against Canada Post by
the Canadian Union of Postal Workers. Like other
organizations, UW is getting ready to deal with the
disruption if it happens - and so a memo is out from Carmen
Jaray of central stores, advising that UW has an arrangement
for getting mail in via the United States.
    In case of a mail stoppage, she says, mail from outside
Canada to anyone at UW should be addressed like this:
    Mailfast
    Attn: [Your name, your department]
    YYZ-YYZ-700295
    PO Box 9018
    Jericho NY 11753-8918
    Note carefully: the words "University of Waterloo"
don't, and shouldn't, appear anywhere in that address.
    "This will ensure," says Jaray, "that your mail will get
here in a reasonable amount of time without it being held by
Canada Post in the event that they go on strike. Please make
sure that your name and department is on the second line of
the address so when we receive this mail we know where to
send it."
