It's the end of an era. Within the next five years Canada Post is planning on phasing out home delivery, which means an end to the friendly neighbourhood mailman, making door-todoor delivery of mail to urban residents a thing of the past.

Moving away from home delivery, Canada Post will be eliminating 6,000 to 8,000 positions in the next five years, but they are expecting that 15,000 workers will retire or leave the company in that time frame.
