Post box for your EDA
It is prudent to separate your political life from your personal life. One way to do this is to rent a PO Box for EDA activities. This also prevents potential future problems in the event you change your financial agent. Closely adjacent EDAs might consider sharing this expense.
Neighbourhood Mail
Unaddressed mail sent through Canada Post is now called Neighbourhood Mail. Political entities qualify for discounted rates. This can be done by you directly, or through one of Canada Post's 3rd party full service partners.
