Shipping to AHL update - September 30th 2025
To our valued Clients,
With the ongoing strike at Canada Post this week, the volume of shipments via Purolator will increase. Here are our recommendations for shipping your specimens to AHL Guelph.
If possible, you can drop off your samples at AHL Guelph Specimen Reception – the vestibule is open for sample drop off from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
You can take your package to a local Purolator drop off location, if you are unable to reach and arrange pickup through their call centre:
National Truth and Reconciliation Day, Tuesday September 30th
National Truth and Reconciliation Day is on Tuesday, September 30 – the AHL is open on September 30. We will be observing this important day as part of our work day.
Please note that Purolator will be closed in observance of the day and will not be delivering nor picking up shipments. We advise clients not to ship specimens on September 29 as they will not arrive at AHL until later in the week.
FedEx and our local in-town courier service will be operating on September 30.
