What Is The Difference Between A Civic Address And A Mailing Address?

A 9-1-1 civic address is for the purpose of emergency response and the assignment of civic addresses is the responsibility of The Archipelago. 

Canada Post is responsible for the management of mailing addresses, postal codes and mail delivery.  Some year-round residents in The Archipelago have rural mail delivery and their mailing address is the same as their civic address.  Some year-round residents have mail delivered to a post office box or general delivery in Mactier, Ontario or Pointe au Baril, Ontario.  The majority of property owners within The Archipelago are seasonal residents and do not have any form of mail delivery to their summer properties.  For any questions regarding mail delivery, please contact Canada Post at 705-746-9044.
