Five things to know about Canada Post’s future after Ottawa announces reforms
Canada Post will end door-to-door delivery for 4 million addresses to save nearly $400 million annually amid losses exceeding $3.8 billion since 2018, officials said.
- On Thursday, Public Works and Procurement Minister Joël Lightbound announced the federal government’s overhaul of Canada Post, authorizing conversion of approximately four million door-to-door addresses to community mailboxes and lifting the moratorium on conversions.
- Following William Kaplan's inquiry, Canada Post faced mounting losses, prompting the government to announce reforms, with Lightbound demanding a plan within 45 days.
- Data show household mail volumes have declined from an average of two letters per week to just two per week in recent years, with Canada Post recording a $448 million loss before tax in the first half of 2025.
- Canada Post must submit a plan within 45 days outlining how it will implement the government's changes, and is set to present a new offer to the Canadian Union of Postal Workers as talks continue.
- Ottawa projects savings of nearly $400 million annually by aligning remaining door-to-door deliveries with three-quarters of Canadians, with rollout over nine years and lifting moratorium on close to 4,000 rural post offices.
