Canada Post has announced nearly half a million addresses that will lose home delivery next year.

The postal codes, which represent 37 communities, will move to community mailboxes in 2027, the Crown corporation said on Thursday.

The 485,000 homes are on top of the 136,000 announced in April.
The majority of mailboxes impacted are in Ontario and Quebec.

They include addresses in the Greater Toronto Area, southwestern and eastern Ontario, along with the Montreal region, Quebec City and Trois-Rivières.
