Canada Post has begun a five-year plan to phase out home mail delivery for four million addresses, shifting to community mailboxes.
The first phase targets 136,000 addresses in 13 communities, with most Canadians already using centralized delivery systems like community mailboxes or post office boxes.
The move aims to save $400 million annually as mail volumes and retail visits decline, while Canada Post faces ongoing financial losses.
