I see that Canada Post is taking about 1000 of the old red letterboxes out of service to cut costs as fewer and fewer pieces of mail flow through them. I've recently moved most of my bills and statements to electronic delivery and pay everything either online or by pre-authorized chequing.

The (new) United Church Benefits Centre is set to open July 4th!  The transition is almost complete, and now the postal stoppage is almost over the information packages for all members (ministry and lay personnel of the United Church, and affiliated organizations) and treasurers should be arriving by next week.
