Northwestern Ontario residents who depend on door-to-door mail delivery won’t be losing their personal service.
The Trudeau government has announced it will be scrapping a program to replace door-to-door service with community mailboxes as part of a broader plan to renew Canada Post.
Since 2014, about 840,000 households no longer had service to their door and were instead required to walk down the street to a community box.
The move was made as a cost cutting measure.
Those households won’t have their door-to-door service restored.
The Liberals have also announced a new program to make mail service more accessible for seniors and those with disability issues.
A national advisory panel will be struck to look for options for serving people with accessibility issues.
