Canadians will soon have to walk to community mailboxes to collect their post, as Canada Post announces plans to phase out door-to-door deliveries. Community mailboxes are already used in some areas, utilising banks of secure mailboxes on pavements and in carparks.

The changes will be brought in by 2015.
