CALGARY – Beginning this fall, two areas in Calgary will start collecting mail at community mail boxes as Canada Post moves toward phasing out door-to-door delivery.
The change applies to homes and businesses with a postal code beginning with T2B or T3J.
It will impact those in the southeast areas of Dover and Erin Woods, as well as northeast communities of Castleridge and Falconridge.
The move will affect over 10,000 residential addresses and 250 businesses.
Canada Post says it doesn’t yet know where the community mail boxes will be placed.

“We are going to be working with municipalities in terms of finding the right and best sites relative to accessibility and so on,” explains John Farnard with Canada Post. “We are going to be asking people who live in those communities for their input.”
Officials hope to have the changes completed by the fall of 2014.
