flag Vancouver’s Chinatown fights to save its last Canada Post office, closing Nov. 12, vital for seniors, low-income families, and others without digital access.

flag Vancouver’s Chinatown is fighting to save its last Canada Post office, set to close November 12 amid cost-cutting measures. flag Residents, including seniors, low-income families, migrants, and people with disabilities, rely on the post office for essential services like receiving government cheques and staying connected, especially organizations like the Wongs’ Benevolent Association that operate without computers. flag Activists argue the closure would worsen isolation in a neighborhood facing gentrification, with the nearest alternative at London Drugs deemed too far for many without cars or reliable transit. flag A petition has been launched, and community leaders are urging Canada Post and government officials to reconsider, emphasizing the post office’s vital role as a lifeline for vulnerable populations.
