Government Operations committee Persons with disabilities are usually on a fixed income and don't usually have a cellphone. If they have a cellphone, it's pay for service or it's only on data use and not on Wi-Fi.

Government Operations committee I've always had a community mailbox. I've never known anything different, and it just happens to be right outside my house.

Government Operations committee My parents have a community mail centre, which is a store, and they live in rural Newfoundland and Labrador. It's a hub. It's where they get their telephone book, their flyers, their mail. It's where the men get together and have chats over coffee in the morning.

Government Operations committee The only people who I can think of who have locks are those who use the community mailboxes or live in apartment buildings.

Government Operations committee We haven't had feedback in regard to theft. We have had feedback in regard to delay in getting your mail. If you're having a support worker get it for you, or a family member, I think people put more emphasis on the need for food and money than they do on the postal service. If s

Kimberly Yetman Dawson
Government Operations committee I would agree; they are either in apartment buildings or they have home delivery. I think the change is difficult for people with a disability and seniors as well, as is the unknown. When they read about it in the newspaper and they wonder what it means for them and whether they
October 3rd, 2016Committee meeting
Kimberly Yetman Dawson
Government Operations committee That's a really good question, and I have to say that I haven't looked into it. We haven't heard from them. We haven't provided any kind of training.
