Canada Post has advised that over the coming years, it will convert nearly four million addresses that still receive door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes. This change is part of their plan to renew and modernize the national postal service so they can continue to meet the evolving needs of Canadians in a financially sustainable way. Addresses with postal codes K1B, K1G, K1H, K1J and K1K have been selected for conversion from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes in late 2026 and early 2027.
Here in Rideau-Rockcliffe Ward, the conversion areas include the K1K and K1J postal codes in the following communities: Overbrook, the area around the St. Laurent Complex, Manor Park, the Forbes-Cummings community, Wateridge Village, the Quarries and Carson Grove.
UPDATE: Community mailboxes will be installed by Canada Post, beginning with the installation of the concrete bases this fall and the mailboxes early next year. Property owners adjacent to proposed locations should have recently received notices from Canada Post regarding proposed locations. Customers will be notified by mail of the date on which their delivery will switch and they will also receive mailbox keys.
Canada Post is the responsibility of the federal government. Our office will continue to share updates as new information becomes available.
