Canada Post to end home delivery for 500,000 homes

Canada Post plans to convert nearly 500,000 residential addresses from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes by 2027. This initiative is part of a broader strategy to modernize operations and address significant financial losses.
Why it matters
