Essa Township residents have been left wondering why they have to change their postal code.
Over 4500 home owners received information that they will essentially have to change their address.
Essa Township Mayor, Sandie MacDonald says this decision is out of the hands of the municipality, as it’s Canada Post who’s calling the shots.
But she says it’s for a good reason.
