NV city
criticizes
Canada
Post

‘NORTH VANCOUVER Cit)

Council recently endorsed a reso-
lution criticizing Canada Post
Corporation for not providing
door-to-door mail service to newly
developed areas.

A letter frou: the city council in
Kitchener, Ont. cited the cost-cut-
ting ‘‘new direction’’ of using
community mail boxes for
tesidents in ntwly developed areas,
rather than the conventional
delivery service provided to other
homes.

“City council acknowledges that
Canada Post is attempting to
reduce its annual deficit; however,
it strongly suggests that there are
other alternatives open...rather
than a method which is purely
discriminatory," the letter said.

North Van City will notify
Prime Minister Brian Mulroney
and Canada Post acting president
D.H. Lander that it has endorsed
Kitchener's resolution.

The letter was sent to all Cana-
dian municipalities of more than
25,000 people.
