Canada Post and CUPW talks collapsed prompting a two day a month service. Government says most government cheques will be delivered on or before due dates with about 3.5 million mailed and 8.5 million via direct deposit in November. If strike lasts, recipients will get updated distribution information.

Willow Creek Mine near Chetwynd moves toward start in 1998
Pine Valley Coal Ltd chief operating officer David Fawcett told council the Willow Creek Mine in Willow Flats 45km west of Chetwynd is in final preparation stages and aims to begin construction by May or June 1998. The open pit project will yield up to 900000 metric tons yearly and employ local residents, with environmental safeguards including sediment ponds and runoff controls. Ongoing discussions with First Nations are slower than hoped, and recruitment will ramp up as construction starts.
