Canada Post has increased the price of domestic postage stamps in the country by 25 cents.
Effective Monday, the Crown corporation says stamps purchased in a booklet, coil or pane, will now cost $1.24 per stamp. The price of a single domestic stamp increases to $1.44, up from $1.15
“Today’s rate change represents a one-time increase of roughly 25 per cent, which is required to better align stamp prices with the rising cost of providing letter mail service to all Canadians,” Canada Post said in a release.
“Every year, there are fewer letters to deliver to more addresses, which adds significant cost pressures to the Corporation on top of continued inflationary pressures.”
Canada Post employees recently returned to work after a 30-day labour strike leading up to the holidays.
