Canada Post Service Disruption: Impacts to BWG

Due to the ongoing Canada Post labour disruption, residents should expect mail delivery delays to and from the Town of BWG. This will affect when you receive your bills and how long it takes for mailed payments to reach us. We recommend residents use our digital services, as outlined below.

Please note: payment deadlines remain unchanged. To avoid late fees, we strongly recommend using one of our digital or in-person payment options instead of mailing cheques. If you have sent a cheque by mail to pay a bill and it has not yet been cashed, please email finservices@townofbwg.com to confirm whether it was received. Please consider registering for e-billing or Virtual Town Hall to view account information for your property taxes and water/wastewater utility accounts.
