Dear supporter of Door-to-Door mail delivery,
Thank you for signing a petition, a letter, or a contact list in support of continuing Door-to-Door mail service. And thank you for opposing the imposition of super-mailboxes in our neighbourhoods.
Londoners for Door-to-Door is a volunteer community group that recently
delivered almost 2900 signatures of support to London's City Hall , and we hope to count on your support again to make sure your message is heard:
The Strategic Priorities and Policy Committee meets at City Hall on Monday August 31, 4:00pm. Canada Post is once again refusing to send a representative to meet our city councillors, but we want to ensure that our community viewpoints are heard. Here is what you can do to help:
- Contact your city councillor and the Mayor (find their contact info here). Ask them to:
- STOP THE INSTALLATIONS! - support a moratorium on the installation of super-mailboxes until after the October election and proper community consultation.
- Make a statement to Canada Post that London's City Council opposes the cuts to door to door mail service.
- Support efforts being taken by Hamilton and Montreal to defend their communities' rights against Canada Post in court.
- Join us at City Hall on Monday August 31, from 4pm in the Gallery, 3rd floor. Facebook users can join, share & re-post this event page. The more presence we have, the better!
- Visit the new website, Friends of Public Services. Sign their petition, share the website, and spread the Facebook page far and wide!
- This new grass-roots organization is setting its sights on saving Door-to-Door as its first campaign!
- Save the date Sept. 6, when the Canadian Union of Postal Workers'cross-Canada save Door-to-Door Caravan rolls into London!
- We will have a day full of activities and actions to welcome our guests, ending with a street party on Talavera Crescent, the site of our ongoing community presence against self-serve mailboxes!
- And remember: there is still time to request changes in proposed locations of self-serve mailboxes in your area. See contact and other information here.
