      Is there a list of postal codes affected yet? I saw some in Etobicoke will be done this year

      Considering how little legitimate mail is still delivered to people anymore, this seems like a very effective way to cut hundreds of millions in expenses. I could see this going further and they eliminate daily delivery to the community mailboxes, simply nothing that’s sent by mail is urgent enough to require 5 days a week delivery.

      I’m shocked that my neighbourhood has door to door, but I think it’s because it’s an older area of my town.

      I’ve had a community mail box for the last 16 years, never had an issue. I almost prefer it, if I get a package it stays locked up until I get there. Before it would stick out of my mailbox for anyone to grab. I maybe check 2 times a week, it’s usually just junk mail, I wouldn’t care if they only delivered a couple times a week.

      Canada Post is starting preliminary work to convert addresses that receive door-to-door mail to community mailboxes and phase out some post offices.

      The Crown corporation says the process is beginning after meetings with union officials.

      In a news release, Canada Post says it’s converting about four million addresses to community mailboxes and the work is expected to take about five years, with different regions moving to community mailboxes each year.

      The corporation says it’s starting discussions with 13 communities across Canada – including Ottawa and Winnipeg – as it prepares to move about 136,000 addresses from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in late 2026 and early 2027.

      Canada Post says it’s also reviewing its retail network in preparation for closures of urban and suburban post offices in areas it says are currently over-served.

      I love how many people think this will actually be more convenient, instead of resulting in even fewer packages being delivered to those same addresses. Which will be further exacerbated by the fact that they’re closing post offices.

      Can they update their database ffs to reflect municipal boundary changes and prevent any confusion.

      I could live with delivery 1 day a week, maybe even once every 2-weeks or even once a month… just saying…

      Are they gonna stop delivering flyers into the community mailbox? I hate that stuff so much. There’s so many it’s ridiculous.

    10. True_Dog_4098 on

      I know the mail person is only on my street 3 days a week maximum now,so I think delivery is already scaled back. I have cameras that tell me.

      THANK-YOU.

      Signed, a guy who hates having to do snow maintenance around my mailbox. Nothing is fucking worse then having to bash my way through a 4 foot wall of ice/hardpack to get to my mailbox after the snowplow leaves a bank that then freezes into a solid block.

      Our politicians have been trying to gut public services for so long, and yet especially Canada Post. This service will intentnially get worse and worse till they can privatize it as massive profit to the people involved only to result in a much worse and more expensive service.

      Kind of like oil and gas, and telecom, and electricity, and water and everything else that was once done for the benefit of Canadians and is now done for the profit of a few.

      How were so many services fine when I was a kid, like health care, Canada post, education, but now all of these services are in decline. What went wrong? Who fucked up and why aren’t they being held accountable? Why is all this failure the responsibility of younger working people?

      For the younger people here, this may be the only opportunity where, if an elderly person complains about the end of their door-to-door, you can say „back in my day, we had to walk all the way to the community mailbox to get the mail.“

      Should of happened a decade ago. Canada post burning tons of cash and won’t do anything to fix there issues. Hopefully they can fix there money losing problem.

    23. Dirtsniffee on

      What fucking year is this? How did people get to put this off for so long while I’ve been schlepping down the block for a decade?!

    24. NewSuperSecretName on

      Community mailboxes run afoul of the horror that is „AddressComplete“……. many (most) delivery services will not deliver to a PO box address, and in many communities address complete won’t recognize street addresses since they’re not valid postal addresses. We lived for a while in Bridgetown NS (a 100% PO box town), and ordering things online was a GIANT pain in the ass

      What about apartments? And does this include flyers cuz I mostly get flyers tbh, and not mails.

    27. Scrimps on

      Hilarious that they are making the first area in Toronto to end door to door. The poorest area with the most disabled and elderly people in the city. Which requires the longest walks and has the least access to transportation.

      I bet the wealthier neighborhoods will continue to get to the door delivery for the full five years of implementation.
