Back issue. The Denman Firestarter did not exist on 2020-04-09. This edition was compiled on 2026-10-01 from the public record as it stood on 2020-04-09, and contains nothing dated after that day — no outcomes, no hindsight. It is a reconstruction of what was on the record at the time, not a document from the time. This edition.

Denman Post Office staff have changed opening and counter procedures during the virus outbreak, according to a notice in The Islands Grapevine.^[1]

The Post Office now opens at 9:30 a.m. Monday through Friday, after the Canada Post mail carrier has finished preparing outgoing mail and left the building.^[1]

Only one person can be served at a time; customers are asked to wait on the General Store porch and step back two metres after placing items on the counter.^[1]

The notice says Canada Post supplied a plexiglass shield for the counter and asks customers to pick up mail promptly because space is limited.^[1]
