No, the postal code remains the same: V2C 0C8

The new mailing address took effect on May 1, 2017. Canada Post will redirect mail sent to 900 McGill Road until April 30, 2018.

Building addresses can start to be used once the campus signs are updated over the next few months.

All stationery will include only the mailing address of 805 TRU Way. As many people move offices around campus it was decided that it would be better to just include the mailing address.

Also, business cards are very crowded with information already and adding a second address, in some cases, is just not feasible.

Your new building address can be used in the signature block of your emails.

1. Emergency Wayfinding — to provide emergency responders from the 911 operator to those arriving on campus the exact location where they are needed. And for those on campus to provide exact locations of where those services are needed.
2. In conjunction with the TRU Community Trust — their developments within the campus will require legal addresses.
3. General Wayfinding — to allow visitors to campus, whether for deliveries, meetings or events, to find their destination as well as for those on campus to provide directions to others

Because Canada Post will redirect mail addressed to 900 McGill Road until April 30, 2018, faculty and staff are encouraged to run down their supplies of letterhead and business cards before restocking. Print Services and Marketing and Communications will ensure new addresses are incorporated into any new materials.

Once you have used up your stationery supplies, please contact Print Services for new business cards, printed letterhead and envelopes.

To accommodate Canada Post, 805 TRU Way, the physical location of the warehouse, is where mail will be delivered. Once delivered to the warehouse by Canada Post, mail and supplies will then be distributed on campus by our own staff as is the current practice.

The number was not chosen; as with all other campus buildings, it was assigned by the City of Kamloops.

As an urban community that will include living spaces, retail, market, office, learning and many other amenities, The Reach will encompass more than one address.

Phase 1 of the development at The Reach will begin with residential condos on Parcel E, a north-facing parcel of land behind the Old Main building at TRU. As with all current and future buildings at TRU, the City will assign addresses as the buildings progress through the City Development Services process.

It will be returned to sender.

The mail might be delivered to the main warehouse but more than likely will be returned to sender.

The university mailing address goes on all correspondence, which includes letterhead, envelopes and business cards.

For a number of people there is already so much information on their business card that there is no space for the physical address. As well, people can move buildings which would require updating their cards.

Use your physical address in your email signature block when communicating with possible visitors to campus.
