Thousands of Ottawa homes switching to community mailboxes

CTV News CTV News — 3min

Canada Post is transitioning close to half a million homes across the country from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes.

CTV's Natalie van Rooy reports that public relations director Ariane Sauve says the move is essential after the crown corporation faced a $1.5-billion deficit in 2025.

Ottawa resident Peter Pauker says he understands the financial pressure but worries older neighbours will have a tough time retrieving mail during the winter.

Addresses in five postal codes across Ottawa’s east and south ends will transition by next July, with Canada Post promising individual accommodations like key turners and lower compartments for those in need.
