Media Report

Canada Post announced that 136,000 addresses across 13 communities will lose door-to-door delivery and switch to community mailboxes starting late 2026 and early 2027, as part of a plan to convert 4 million addresses over five years. A 30 percent reduction in positions at delivery depots is expected, with most job losses occurring through attrition as employees retire rather than through layoffs.
