The government-owned corporation that delivers mail in Canada is taking steps to stop home delivery.
Canada Post is initiating talks with 13 communities to begin converting about 136,000 addresses from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes.
It is the first step in a move that will end home delivery for about 4 million addresses over the next five years.
A Canada Post spokesman said eliminating home delivery would save Canada Post about $290 million US dollars a year and that it would not require layoffs.
Unionized postal workers will begin voting Monday on whether to ratify new contract agreements with the national mail carrier.
They have been without a new contract since 2023.
It has been facing staggering financial losses. Canada Post said in November its losses in the first nine months of 2025 topped $73 million usd.
