It's starting to feel a lot like Christmas for some local Winnipeg courier companies, despite Manitoba being under restrictions at the red, or critical, level of the province's pandemic response system.
Since retailers are not allowed to sell non-essential items for in-person shopping under the province's COVID-19 restrictions, many have turned to buying online or over the phone, which means a need for delivery.
Sierra Courier in Winnipeg has hired another 20 drivers in the past couple of weeks, increasing staff from about 80 to 100.
