Corporate Governance
Contents
While there is no legislation requirement to disclose any of the governance information found on this website or to hold Annual Public Meetings, Canada Post believes that providing such information and holding Annual Public Meetings provide an excellent opportunity to reach out our customers, employees and all Canadians.
Canada Post’s Public meetings
Canada Post is committed to continue to provide updated governance information and will also continue to hold public meetings each year in various locations throughout Canada. Canada Post held its second annual public meeting in Hamilton, Ontario on Wednesday, June 18, 2008.
