The new design for the post office in Battleford has been finalized by Canada Post and local contractor Straight Line Builders is working seven days a week to get it installed as quickly as humanly possible.

Building owners Jesse Crozier and and Cassandra Germsheid are excited about the new design.

鈥淚t鈥檚 the same design as any of the new Canada Post buildings,鈥 says Germsheid.

The Canada Post colours will be incorporated,聽 she says, but she doesn鈥檛 want to give too much away as she wants Canada Post鈥檚 customers to enjoy the surprise of seeing the new look for the first time for themselves.

Germsheid also says, 鈥淚t鈥檚 going to be a really nice place for the staff to work as well.鈥

There will be new lighting and additional security is being integrated with the existing fire alarm system. she adds.

Germsheid says she knows people have been curious about when the post office building will re-open, but she says it鈥檚 probably taken some time for Canada Post to plan the design to pay respect to the character of the building, so it鈥檚 not just a matter of redoing plaster and paint.

鈥淚 want it to be a really nice eye-opener so that people can say, yes, this was worth the wait.鈥

Canada Post isn鈥檛 saying much about when they plan to open, but Crozier says his crew is working full out.
