Closure of Inkblotz and Canada Post outlet in York Lanes

As you may be aware, the “Inkblotz” store in York Lanes will be closing on January 31, 2019. This will also include the closure of the current on-campus Canada Post outlet. 

The University has been working with Canada Post to establish a new post office on campus as quickly as possible but it will likely take a few months before a new post office is open. Despite our best efforts to arrive at a temporary solution with the existing location while a new outlet is established, we were informed by Canada Post that this would not be possible.   We recognize and fully understand the inconvenience and impact this closure will cause. The last day of operation for the Inkblotz Post Office will be Friday, January 25.

Alternate post office location
Canada Post is redirecting customers to the Downsview Post Office at 1027 Finch Ave W (west of Dufferin) for all outbound services as well as any packages requiring signature for pick-up that would have been held at the Inkblotz location. Packages addressed to students living in residence that do not require signature will continue to be delivered to the Housing Services offices.

Complimentary shuttle
Ancillary Services and Facilities Services will be offering students a complimentary shuttle from the Atkinson parking lot (located south of the Second Student Centre) to the Downsview Post Office on Tuesdays and Thursdays at 2pm. The shuttle service will commence on Tuesday, January 29 and will operate until further notice.   Part-time OSAP students are required to take their part-time funding certificate to any Canada Post Office to mail it to the National Student Loans Service Centre for processing. Students can access any Canada Post Office near their home or work or, when on campus, can take advantage of the complimentary shuttle service to the Downsview Post Office.

We will continue to keep you informed of any changes or developments as they happen.
