— A woman in an eastern Saskatchewan community wasn’t impressed recently when a letter she sent to a home just blocks from hers took over a week to arrive. Janice Belak says she went to her post office in Wynyard to find out what the problem was and to voice her displeasure. The letter was finally sent back to Wynyard to be scanned and sorted for delivery. Belak says it added up to a 330-kilometre trip for a letter sent to a house in a town of about 2,000 people. Canada Post confirmed to CTV News that most local mail must be shipped to a provincial sorting centre before it is sent to its final destination.
