Post Offices Across Canada


The Canada Post's Mississauga Sortation Plant in Ontario, covers over 32,000 square feet under one roof and is one of 30 mechanized postal plants in Canada. In addition to these large, mechanized sortation plants there are about 400 staff post offices in urban communities large enough to warrant a letter-carrier service and about 2000 semi-staff post offices in smaller communities. Nearly 3500 revenue post offices serve villages and rural areas; traditionally, their postmasters and assistants are paid from postal revenues. Seasonal post offices are set up to accommodate people during the busy vacation season in certain areas. [4]

About Canada Post


Every business day, Canada Post provides service to 14 million addresses,[2] delivering 40 million items.[3] Delivery takes place via traditional "to the door" service by 15,000 letter carriers, supplemented by approximately 6,000 vehicle routes in rural and suburban areas, and truck delivery of parcels in urban areas. There are 6,800 post offices across the country, a combination of corporate offices and franchises which are operated by private retailers in conjunction with a host retail business, such as a drugstore. In terms of area serviced, Canada Post delivers to a larger area than the postal service of any other nation, including Russia (where service in Siberia is limited largely to communities along the railroad).

From Nova Scotia to British Columbia, from the Yukon Territory to Newfoundland, Canada Post is at the door. The government-owned company delivers more than 11.5 billion pieces of mail to some 14 million Canadian addresses each year. [1]http://finance.google.com/finance?cid=10431611
