New community mailboxes to be installed in Neepawa

By Eoin Devereux Neepawa Banner & Press

Residents of Westpark Mobile Home Park in Neepawa will soon have postal service a little bit closer to their door steps. Over the next few weeks, Canada Post will be sending out letters to all 51 of the mobile park occupants informing them of plans to install a new community mailbox later this fall.

This style of mailbox, is a centralized, outdoor receptacle that serves multiple residences within a neighbourhood. It contains locked compartments for each household, accessible with keys provided to the residents.

What this decision means for Neepawa, in general, is that before the end of the year, 51 P.O. boxes will become available at the Canada Post building. As for the Westpark residents, they will get one-year automatic forwarding from the old address for one-year.
