Canada Post home delivery to end in parts of Mississauga, Brampton, Pickering and Ajax in 2027

More Ontario residents will see home mail delivery end with Canada Post adding community mailboxes to parts of Mississauga, Brampton and Durham Region in 2027.

Earlier this year, Canada Post announced homes in the M9V and M9W areas of Etobicoke will be one of the first to lose home delivery starting in late 2026 and early 2027. Homes in Ottawa, Vancouver and Winnipeg will also begin the move to community mailboxes in 2026/27.

Today, the Crown corporation said approximately 485,000 more addresses across Canada will be converted next year as the transformation continues.

The move, a five-year process, comes as Canada Post reported a $1.57 billion loss before tax for 2025.

“Community mailbox conversions are a key element of Canada Post’s plan to transform the postal service to meet the evolving needs of Canadians without becoming a recurring burden on taxpayers,” the corporation said in a press release.

About 158,000 addresses in Ajax, Brampton, Hawkesbury, Kitchener, London, Mississauga, Ottawa and Pickering are slated to convert to community mailboxes in 2027.

Homes with the following postal codes are slated to be converted to community mailboxes in 2027:

• Ajax addresses beginning with L1S and L1T
• Pickering addresses beginning with L1V, L1W and L1X
• Brampton addresses beginning with L6S, L6T, L6W, L6Y, L6V, L6X, L67 and L7A
• Mississauga addresses beginning with L4T, L4V, L5M, L5N, L5S and L5T
• Kitchener addresses beginning with N2A, N2B, N2C, N2E, N2G, N2H, N2M, N2N and N2P
• London addresses beginning with N6C, N6E, N6L and N6N
• Ottawa addresses beginning with K1B, K1G, K1H, K1J K1C, K1E and K1W
• Hawkesbury addresses beginning with K6A

Other provinces included in the latest round of conversions are Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, Quebec, Manitoba, Alberta and British Columbia.

Cities include Fredericton, Halifax, Quebec City, Winnipeg, Calgary, Edmonton and Kelowna, B.C.

Community mailboxes provide locked compartments for mail and parcels. They have been part of Canada’s delivery network for more than 40 years and are used by millions of Canadians, Canada Post said.

More than 80 per cent of parcels delivered by Canada Post fit into a community mailbox’s individual compartment or a dedicated parcel compartment. Parcels that don’t fit or that require a signature are delivered to the door or held for pickup at a nearby post office.

Canada Post is responsible for maintaining and servicing all community mailboxes to ensure safety and accessibility. This includes clearing snow and fixing or replacing locks.

Other reforms in the works include weekend parcel delivery and possible post office closures.
