Canada Post Corporation is a Canadian postal service operated as a crown corporation. Canada Post was created to set a new direction for the postal service, creating more reliable service and ensuring the postal service's financial security and independence. Every business day, Canada Post provides service to 14 million addresses, delivering 40 million items. There are 6,800 post offices across the country, a combination of corporate offices and franchises which are operated by private retailers in conjunction with a host retail business, such as a drugstore. Canada Post delivers to a larger area than the postal service of any other nation, including Russia.
Canada Post is now providing private retailers its products and services and access to its processing and delivery network. In return, private retailers are offering to Canada Post their retailing expertise in an already existing host business and the capital investment needed to provide the service.
