Letter sent across town in Wynyard, Sask., takes a week, makes 330-km round trip
WYNYARD, Sask. — A woman in an eastern Saskatchewan community wasn’t impressed recently when a letter she sent to a home just blocks from hers took over a week to arrive.
Janice Belak says she went to her post office in Wynyard to find out what the problem was and to voice her displeasure.
She says she was told her letter was first sent to Yorkton, about 130 kilometres to the southeast, and then back west and even further south to a sorting centre in Regina.
The letter was finally sent back to Wynyard to be scanned and sorted for delivery.
