Meeting was positive Ashburn and Area News by Florence Ashton This past Wednesday, March 2nd there was a meeting at the Community Centre between local Ashburn residents and represen- tatives of Canada Post. The purpose of the meeting was to give Canada Post the op- portunity to explain their new licy of replacing Rural Post Of- ices with Rural Postal Outlets and also give the local customers of Ashburn Post Office the oppor- tunity for input into the future of postal services in Ashburn. The representatives of Canada Post explained that postal ser- vices would continue to be provid- ed from the Ashburn General Store, but under a different con- tractual agreement than has been in effect in the past. The concerns of the residents of Ashburn were that services would not be the same as have been pro- vided in the past and most par- ticularly were concerned that the change in contractual agreement between Canada Post and the pro- prietor of the General Store, would not provide sufficient in- come for services rendered or suf- ficient income to assure the future of postal services being provided from that location or even assur- ing that postal services could re- main in Ashburn in the future. The immediate result of the meeting was a unanimous agree- ment of the local residents that: the new Canada Post policy to establish postal outlets was not in FREE FORMICA COUNTERTOP (maximum 20°) with kitchens ordered in March. the best interest of rural Canada and most particularly not in the best interest for the future of postal services in Ashburn. Those in attendance signed a directive to that effect and asked that Canada Post review this policy and advise the residents of what might be done in order to en- sure that postal services will re- main in Ashburn now and in the future. The meeting was positive and the Canada Post represenen- tatives left with a clear understanding of what the local people wanted and gave assurances that their concerns would be taken into consideration. The individuals organizing the public meetings relating to Canada Post, Thurs. Feb. 25th and Mar. 2nd would like to thank the residents of Ashburn and area for their support. Both meetings were well attended, and this con- tinues to demonstrate the per- sonal support this community has repeatedly exhibited in the past. If you were unable to sign the directive, a copy has been left in the Ashburn Store for your signature.
