Keep Mission Post Office Open
Petitioners ask the Minister to instruct Canada Post to maintain 33191 — 1st Ave, Mission, BC (V2V 1G0) as an open, working Canada Post office and sort-and-delivery depot.
Why we would sign this petition
- Maintains local access so residents can reliably receive mail and parcels without travelling to other communities.
- Helps protect vulnerable people named in the petition — seniors, people with disabilities, and those lacking transport — from delivery problems.
- Preserves the only local federal presence and supports businesses and community connectivity that rely on nearby postal services.
Why we wouldn’t sign this petition
- Could raise operating costs or divert Canada Post resources, forcing trade-offs with network efficiency and other service priorities.
- May be less efficient than alternative models (centralized depots, contracted outlets or delivery innovations) that could serve the same residents.
- A binding order for a specific site reduces Canada Post’s flexibility to adapt services or invest in improvements across the network.
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. This includes our seniors, those living with disabilities, those living alone, as well as those who do not have adequate transportation to get to another community to retrieve their mail and/or parcels. 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.
