Steveston Museum Post Office to Reopen Monday, September 21

We continue to pay attention to the federal, provincial, and City updates, and are using their guidance to make our decisions. For more on the City of Richmond’s response, please visit their website.

Post Office

The Steveston Museum Post Office will be reopening on Monday, September 21. Our hours will be Monday-Saturday 9:30-5 and Sunday 12-4.

If you have a PO Box with us, look for a letter from Canada Post in your PO Box at Super Grocer with more details about when the mail will be moved back. (If you don’t have a PO Box with us, and you’d like one, stop by any time after Monday and chat with our friendly staff.) We encourage everyone coming into the Post Office to wear a mask, and sanitize their hands upon entry.

> Further details regarding our COVID-19 reopening plan

All proceeds from the Post Office sales help support our programming. We are grateful to the City of Richmond and Canada Post for their assistance with the reopening.

Please note that at this time the Steveston Museum, Tourism Richmond counter, and public washrooms remain closed.
