As a postal strike looms both the CVRD and the City of Duncan are urging all residents to make the switch to online payments to avoid penalties.
According to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers, a 72-hour strike notice has been issued that could see 55,000 postal workers walk off the job early Friday morning.
Both regional governments say if the strike hits, then backlogs could be significant and delays in receiving any payments could put services at risk and cause residents to incur late fees on their taxes.
Payments can be made through online banking, by credit card or over the phone.
