When did canada post stop delivering mail on saturday

Canada Post, the national postal service of Canada, used to deliver mail on Saturdays, but it stopped doing so in 2011.

On June 30, 2011, Canada Post announced that it would be eliminating Saturday delivery of mail and parcels, effective August 30, 2011. This change was made to reduce costs and adjust to the decline in mail volumes due to the rise of electronic communication.

Prior to this change, Canada Post had been delivering mail on Saturdays for over 150 years. The decision to stop Saturday delivery was part of a broader effort by the postal service to adapt to changing consumer habits and reduce its operating costs.

It's worth noting that while Canada Post no longer delivers mail on Saturdays, it still delivers parcels and packages on Saturdays, as well as on Sundays in some areas. Additionally, some private courier services may still deliver mail and packages on Saturdays.
