“Promotion via Canada Post’s Neighbourhood Mail service remains one of the most effective and affordable ways for any business to reach their target customers,” adds Ms. Cihosky.

Canada Post delivers to every single mailbox in Canada, including postal boxes and those located in apartment and office buildings.
