Canada Post plans to halt door to door delivery in urban areas and shift to a community box system, aiming to save 900 million annually by laying off 6 000 to 8 000 workers over five years while raising stamp prices and imposing new charges. The move follows years of falling mail volumes amid electronic communications and private parcel competition.
