Workers, community rallies for St. Boniface Post Office

Winnipeg IWW @ Friday, May 21, 2010
On April 29, workers and members of the community gathered for a rally at the St. Boniface Post Office at 208 Provencher against a proposal by Canada Post to shut down the post office instead of retrofitting it to address concerns about accessibility. The St. Boniface Post Office has provided bilingual service and has been part of the community for over 100 years. Any attempt to shut down this historic post office would be a serious blow to Canada Post workers, users of the postal service, and the culture, heritage and linguistic identity of St. Boniface.
