The City of Hamilton is engaged in an all out legal battle to stop the construction of group mailboxes in the City. It is a campaign that has been going on for many months. Yesterday the City laid charges against Canada Post under a new bylaw that would prevent placement of boxes without permission. Residents have blocked construction sites with bushes and other materials. Canada Post is challenging the law in court. The Hamilton vs Canada Post is among the more startling examples of a community determined to stop boxes appearing wherever the post office wants. A court date is expected soon. Hamilton Spectator
