Canada Post Hires Contractors To Melt Frozen Mailboxes In Ottawa


Story out of Ottawa, Ontario:

The controversial community mailboxes that many Ottawa residents didn’t want in the first place are now causing more headaches for Canada Post and its customers.

It turns out the mailboxes aren’t suited for winter life in Ottawa. Hundreds of them have been frozen shut for days.

Mail carrier Bill Kitts said he’s tried to help some residents by meeting them at the community mailbox and directly handing them their letters.

Canada Post has hired contractors to de-ice the mailbox locks, but it has been a slow process, taking up to an hour just to open one of them. Cont. (Video)
