Canada Post says it expects to have someone as early as next week assigned to delivering mail along one of its rural routes in Alberton township.
Residents along the route have been complaining about not getting mail on a regular basis.
Canada Post spokesperson John Cairns says a person they had quit, but the position will be filled soon.
The job, in the meantime, is being performed by a supervisory who's working to deliver mail as quickly as possible until the new person comes on board.
Cairns admits the hiring, which includes getting security clearance, has taken longer than expected.
