Maintain Mission Post Office
Petitioners ask the Minister to instruct Canada Post to keep 33191 1st Ave, Mission, BC V2V 1G0 open and operating as a Canada Post office and as a sort-and-deliver depot.
Why we would sign this petition
- Keeps a local federal presence and convenient access to postal services for residents who rely on in-person transactions.
- Reduces risks of undelivered or stolen mail and parcels for seniors, people with disabilities and those without reliable transport.
- Supports local businesses and community connectivity by preserving a nearby sort-and-deliver depot and continuity of service.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Does not address Canada Post’s operational costs or resource constraints, so keeping the facility open may be financially impractical.
- Alternative nearby postal facilities or delivery options might already serve residents, making a mandatory order unnecessary.
- Asking the minister to order Canada Post may bypass regular service-review processes and broader system planning.
The summary and both sets of reasons are AI-generated from the petition and given equal weight. Claims are the petitioners’ own; consult the official record for the full text.
Official petition
Petition to the Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement Whereas: - Canada Post's post office network is a vital national infrastructure, enabling Canadians to stay connected and communities and countless businesses to thrive; -The Mission, BC post office is often the only physical presence of the federal government in our community; -Closing this postal installation will be particularly harmful for the most vulnerable in our community if there is an issue with delivery of their mail or parcels due to theft, vandalism, bad weather and poor maintenance.

We, the undersigned residents of the Province of British Columbia call upon the Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement to: 1- Instruct Canada Post to maintain 33191 - 1st Ave, Mission, BC, V2V 1G0 as a working and functioning Canada Post Office to continue to serve OUR community in Mission British Columbia. 2- Instruct Canada Post to maintain 33191 - 1st Ave, Mission, BC, V2V 1G0 as a working and functioning Canada Post Sort and Deliver Depot.
