With a Canada Post service disruption set to begin on November 15, Alectra Utilities is urging customers to switch to paperless billing and consider alternative payment options to ensure continued service and timely account management.
“With the onset of the Canada Post strike, Alectra is committed to supporting our customers in managing their accounts conveniently and securely,” said Kerry Lakatos-Hayward, Director, Customer Service. “Switching to paperless billing ensures quick access to bill details, help avoid late fees and, for new ebilling signups Alectra will contribute to Feed Ontario, helping provide meals for families in need. It’s a simple switch that benefits both our customers and our communities.”
With food banks facing record demand, this initiative helps alleviate local food insecurity while offering customers a convenient, eco-friendly alternative to traditional paper billing.
“Alectra has been an incredible partner over the last four years, helping to provide over 650,000 meals to families facing hunger in Ontario,” added Carolyn Stewart, CEO at Feed Ontario. “As an organization that supports a network of more than 1,200 food banks and hunger-relief organizations facing unprecedented demand, Feed Ontario is extremely grateful for companies like Alectra for their compassion and innovation in helping to ensure everyone in our province has access to fresh and healthy food.”
To further prepare for postal delays, customers are advised to use one of the following payment methods:
Online or telephone banking
In person at a financial institution
Pre-authorized payments
Credit card
