Moose Jaw, Yorkton, and Prince Albert will be the first communities in Saskatchewan to lose door-to-door mail service.

Canada Post is slowing cutting the service Canada-wide by 2019, and moving to community mailboxes instead as a cost saving measure.

Those mailboxes are set to be installed in those three Saskatchewan cities by next fall.

Canada Post says 11,000 residents will be impacted in Moose Jaw, 9,000 in Prince Albert, and 5,000 in Yorkton.

Canada Post says no full-time or part-time employees are losing their jobs as a result.
