Answer

Post offices can be reimagined to better meet the needs of the communities they serve. As community hubs, post offices could act as drop-in centres for youth, seniors or other local groups.

Adjacent outdoor spaces could be turned into artisan and farmers’ markets, connecting community members to fresh food and local goods. Indoor pop-up spaces for local businesses could showcase local quality products. And in some communities, post offices could even provide tourism information, fishing or hunting licenses.
