Notice to Canadian Horse Journal Subscribers

Important update regarding your subscription 

Dear Subscribers,

We understand how important receiving Canadian Horse Journal is to you, and we regret to inform you of a service disruption that will temporarily affect your print deliveries. 

Earlier today, November 15, 2025 the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW) announced a strike involving approximately 55,000 members across its urban, rural, and suburban mail carrier bargaining units. Canada Post has stated that its operations are currently shut down, affecting mail and parcel delivery across the country. Unfortunately, this means that mail and parcels already in the system will face delays, and no new items are being accepted for processing. The company said in a statement today that the shutdown will affect millions of Canadians and businesses. 

As of today, both parties are still at the negotiating table, and talks continue. Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon told reporters in Montreal this morning: “I’m not looking at any other solution other than negotiation right now.” Mark Lubinski, the Toronto local president of CUPW, said Canada Post workers know that they provide an essential service, and told CBC News: “We’re prepared to be out here as long as we need to be.” 

The current issue of Canadian Horse Journal, our special Annual Equine Industry Guide 2025, was sent to Canada Post for mailing before the strike began. However, Canada Post will not deliver it to you until their operations resume. 

In light of these challenges, we want to assure you that we are doing everything we can to keep you connected with Canadian Horse Journal. During this postal service interruption, and to ensure your continued access, all print subscribers will receive a digital copy of our publication delivered directly to their email inbox within coming days. This will continue until regular mail service resumes. Once the strike has ended, we will ensure that all print issues delayed by the interruption are sent to you. 

Subscribers: If you do not have an email on file with us and would like to receive the digital edition, please provide your email using this form. 

We deeply appreciate your patience and understanding during this time. If you have any questions or need assistance, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Our team is here to help at 1-800-299-3799 or by email at subscriptions@horsejournals.com.
