PROVIDENCE BAY—The new postmaster at the Canada Post Corporation (CPC) office in Providence Bay will no doubt be familiar to many members of the community and around Manitoulin Island.
“The postmaster position at the Providence Bay post office has been successfully staffed,” said Phil Rogers, media relations with Canada Post in an email to the Expositor on April 24. “Pamela Schieckoff has accepted the postmaster position and started on Monday, April 17. During the staffing process, the post office has operated its regular hours and will continue to do so.”
“I am very, very happy to have been hired for the postmaster position here (Providence Bay),” Ms. Schieckoff told The Expositor. “I’ve been working for Canada Post for the past couple of years and have been covering off at post offices around the Island when it has been needed. I have always wanted to work full-time with Canada Post and being the permanent new postmaster here tops the cake.”
Ms. Schieckoff said, “I grew up coming visiting Providence Bay since I was nine years old so I knew a lot of people before, and will get to know everyone in the community over time.”
The Providence Bay Canada Post office is located in office space in Huron Sands.
Ms. Schieckoff takes over the permanent full-time postmaster position after long-time postmaster Eleanor Lentir retired on December 29, 2022.
