Canada Post to convert half a million addresses from home delivery to community mailboxes
Canada Post says the switch is part of a five-year plan to move 4 million homes away from doorstep delivery.
- Canada Post announced on Thursday that 37 communities across seven provinces will convert 485,000 addresses to centralized community mailboxes beginning in 2027.
- Mounting financial losses drove the transition; Canada Post reported a $1.57-billion loss for 2025 and a $205-million loss in the first quarter of 2026.
- Ontario leads with 158,000 affected residences, while British Columbia follows with 81,000 addresses, adding to 136,000 previously selected for conversion.
- Residents will receive keys for secure mailbox access, while the Delivery Accommodation Program supports households requiring tools like Braille features or sliding trays.
- Broader reforms accompany this shift, including weekend parcel delivery and potential post office closures as the Crown corporation works to overhaul its business model.
