441-00042 (Government services and administration)
Original language of petition: English
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
- Savary Island in British Columbia had a Canada Post office between 1913-1980;
- More than 100 full time residents of Savary Island do not receive mail at their primary address;
- Canada Post is mandated to provide free mail service to all Canadians at their primary address;
- The residents of Savary Island have a right to be included in the free mail service to all Canadians.
We, the undersigned, Citizens of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to ensure residents of Savary Island in the Province of British Columbia are serviced by a corporate run post office in their community.
Response by the Minister of Public Services and Procurement
Signed by (Minister or Parliamentary Secretary): Anthony Housefather
Canada Post has accepted the petition and will review it.
While Canada Post is required through the Canada Post Corporation Act to deliver to every address in Canada, Canada Post determines the mode of delivery which may include delivery to the door, a community mailbox, group mailbox, a rural mailbox, a postal box, general delivery at the post office or delivery to a central point in apartment/office buildings.
Canada Post regularly reviews its postal network needs and many factors must be considered when determining the location of a Post Office, including Canada Post’s mandate to be financially self-sufficient. All of its decisions are taken while respecting its Service Charter requirements.
