As of 2004, nearly 843,000 rural Canadian customers received residential mail delivery services. In terms of area serviced, Canada Post delivers to a larger area than the postal service of any other nation, including Russia (where Russian Post service in Siberia is limited largely to communities along the railway). There are more than 6,200 post offices across the country, a combination of corporate offices and private franchises that are operated by retailers, such as drugstores. Delivery takes place via traditional "to the door" service and centralized delivery by 25,000 letter carriers, through a 13,000 vehicle fleet. Ĭanada Post provided service to more than 16 million addresses and delivered nearly 8.4 billion items in 2016 and consolidated revenue from operations reached $7.88 billion. The act aimed to set a new direction for the postal service by ensuring its financial security and independence. This abolished the Post Office Department and created the present-day Crown corporation that provides postal service. On October 16, 1981, the Canada Post Corporation Act came into effect. Originally known as Royal Mail Canada (the operating name of the Post Office Department of the Canadian government founded in 1867 French: Poste Royale Canada), rebranding was done to the "Canada Post" name in the late 1960s, even though it had not yet been separated from the government. Canada Post Corporation ( French: Société canadienne des postes), trading as Canada Post ( French: Postes Canada), is a Crown corporation that functions as the primary postal operator in Canada.
