Canada Post announced today that it would be phasing out urban home delivery service, raising the price of a stamp to $1 and cutting between 6000-8000 jobs. 

"With the increasing use of digital communication and the historic decline of letter mail volumes, Canada Post has begun to post significant financial losses," the corporation said in the release.

The postal service's revenue dropped $20 million in the first three quarters of 2013 compared to the same time frame last year.

Urban door-to-door delivery service will be replaced with community mailboxes. 

CBC KW has been hearing from you about the changes:
