Postal code changes

So, in Sechelt, Canada Post is to change our postcode. No reason or justification was given.

It is easy to let family and friends around the world know but not so easy, not always possible, for others with whom we have infrequent contact or have lost touch. I received a letter and magazine this past week from someone in the UK that I’d had no contact with for over 12 years. There are others around the world who will only have my current postal code.

So, Canada Post, what is the reason for this change? Was there really no alternative? Are you legally liable for any costs and consequences? Short term, you will redirect mail that uses the current code but after that?
