Canada Post has announced it is commencing preliminary work to convert some residential addresses from door-to-door mail delivery to community mailboxes. The initiative is part of the corporation's ongoing modernization strategy.
According to Canada Post, approximately 4 million addresses across the country still receive mail directly to their door. The conversion process involves identifying suitable locations for community mailbox installations and beginning community consultations in selected areas.
The corporation states that the transition will be gradual, with specific neighborhoods and postal codes being identified and notified in advance. This process aims to improve efficiency and sustainability in the face of declining mail volumes and rising costs.
Canada Post has not released a definitive list of the first postal codes to be converted, indicating that details will be communicated directly to affected residents as plans are finalized. The public can expect updates through official Canada Post channels.
