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.
