Canada Post is rolling out the latest phase of its transition from door-to-door delivery to community mailboxes, selecting more than three dozen communities , including parts of London, that will undergo the conversion starting next year.

Those living in postal codes N6C, N6E, N6L, N6N, will see the switch happen in November 2027.

The Crown corporation says it is starting talks with local governments about making the switches.

Canada Post cited safety and efficiency as the reason behind the community mailboxes, now poised to pepper a growing number of regions.

The announcement comes less than two weeks after postal workers approved a tentative agreement that will boost their wages nearly 10 per cent in the first 24 months of the five-year deal.
