Q2 last year

$407M loss

Q2 this year

$277M loss

Canada Post lost $277 million before taxes in the second quarter, down from $407 million a year earlier, as parcel revenue rose and operating costs fell.

Its parcel market share fell from 62 per cent in 2019 to 29 per cent in 2023. It now offers small-business shipping discounts and is testing an online marketplace, Canada Shops.

4 million addresses

Canada Post plans to move the remaining door-to-door addresses to community mailboxes within about five years, with about 700,000 more households switched by the end of 2027.

And us?

What you can do

A new online tool lets customers with door-to-door delivery enter their postal code to see when their area will switch to a community mailbox.
