OTTAWA – Canada Post is transforming its information technology (IT) model to better serve the changing needs of Canadians and businesses and continue to lead in the rapidly evolving parcel delivery market.

OTTAWA – Canada Post Corporation (Canada Post) and Purolator Holdings Ltd. are finalizing a transaction to sell SCI Group Inc. (SCI) to Montréal-based Metro Supply Chain Inc. (Metro Supply Chain), a Canadian leader in third-party logistics. The move comes as Canada Post focuses on transforming to serve the changing needs of Canadians and Canadian businesses.

There is still plenty of time to shop online as Canada Post’s holiday delivery plans are in full effect, helping us to deliver a record 3.2 million parcels over this past weekend and on Monday. On Monday (December 9) we delivered 2.2 million parcels, combined with the 960,000 we delivered over the weekend which were both new highs. We expect to deliver an average of 1.7 million parcels a day between now and Christmas.

OTTAWA – Canada Post recorded a loss before tax of $135 million in the third quarter of 2019, as ongoing declines in mail volumes were only partially offset by Parcels volume growth.

Chosen from hundreds of submissions, these Canadian retailers range from large, familiar brands to owner-operated start-ups. Representing various industries, including electronics, apparel, housewares, sporting goods, food and more, each company is a standout in e-commerce.

Canada Post is proposing to increase postage rates in 2020 by two cents for a domestic LettermailTM item of 30 grams or less. For stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, the rate would become $0.92 per stamp, up from the current rate of $0.90. Buying a single domestic stamp for the same item would cost $1.07, up from the current rate of $1.05. These rate changes would take effect on January 13, 2020.

I wish to sincerely thank Arbitrator Flynn for providing resolution to the pay equity issue with her thoughtful and detailed ruling. This is an incredibly important ruling for our rural and suburban carriers. Pay equity is a basic human right and therefore pay disparity on the basis of gender is wholly unacceptable for Canada Post.

Earlier today, Arbitrator Maureen Flynn released her ruling on the question of pay equity between Canada Post’s rural and suburban mail carriers (who are predominantly female) and urban mail carriers (who are predominantly male).

Canada Post is reporting a first-quarter profit, driven mostly by robust growth in its Parcels business as it delivers Canadians’ online purchases.

Canada Post is reporting a 2017 profit before tax of $74 million, largely due to unprecedented growth in its parcels business. Most of the Parcels revenue growth of $393 million was from domestic shipments, which speaks to the important role Canada Post plays delivering for online shoppers and retailers across the country.

On November 14, 2017, Canada Post received Notices to Bargain from the Canadian Union of Postal Workers (CUPW). Notices were filed for both bargaining units covering Rural and Suburban Mail Carriers (CUPW-RSMC) and Urban employees (CUPW-Urban).
