K change in post office proce

The Citizen receiving their paper
later than normal the last two
weeks.
As part of a 100 km. mail route
drive by The Citizen’s mail crew on
Tuesday nights to ensure that
subscribers receive their papers
Wednesday morning, papers des
tined for Auburn have been left at
the Clinton Post Office for the past
year or more. Usually these papers
were sorted in time to be put on a
truck bound for Goderich and

weeks workers at the Clinton post
office have been arriving just
slightly later than before and as a
result the bags have not been put

said he thinks the situation has
been remedied for this week and
apologized to Auburn area subscri

Here are some examples
of how we are expanding
In Whistler, British Columbia. Two new retail postal outlets, operated by local businesses, have
opened this year. The new outlets complement the services offered at the Whistler corporate post
office. They are the first step to improved service in this rapidly-developing community.
“The response from the customers has been fantastic. It’s working out well. ”
- Harry McKeever, Operator, Retail Outlet, McKeever’s General Store
In Rose Bay, Nova Scotia. We have another link in Canada Post Corporation’s growing network of
postal outlets. This time in a community where for two years, retail service was not provided through a
corporate outlet. Retail postal service is now provided in partnership with a local business.
“I feel that the postal outlet here is a great step in the right direction
to service the people in the area. ”
- Sam Emmons, President, Rose Bay area Board of Trade
In Ste-Felicite-de-l’Islet, Quebec. A retail postal outlet is now offering postal services and
products in a community where no post office existed before.
“In addition to the services provided by a retail postal outlet established
in a local business, we now have the benefit of our own postal code. ”
-Jean-Paul Pellerin, Mayor, Municipality of Ste-Felicite-de-l’Islet
In lewvan, Saskatchewan. A retail postal outlet is now open to serve customers. The outlet
provides customers with access to postal products and services. These services have not been
available locally for four years.
“The retail postal outlet in the Co-op convenience store is a good arrangement
- they support each other and it provides all the necessary postal services. ”
- Larry Davis, Councillor, Rural Municipality of Wellington, Saskatchewan
We are growing -
in partnership with the community
More rural Canadians are enjoying increased access to postal products and services through retail
postal outlets in their communities. This is happening in partnership with hundreds of local businesses
right across the country, in a variety of ways.
Local businesses are benefiting from increased customer traffic. It means a better and stronger
business base for the community. We are building local partnerships with the community and
business, to provide Canadians with reliable, accessible and affordable postal service.
Canada Post is in rural Canada to stay.
That’s a promise.

Our commitment: better service for you.
