Comber resident Mark McKinlay isn't happy with Lakeshore council's decision to go to a uniform mailing address.
He recently started an online petition after council decided to notify Canada Post that the town wants to use Lakeshore as the primary mailing address for all residents within the municipality earlier this month.
McKinlay has lived in Comber for 42-years and wants to keep Comber, Ont. on his incoming mail.
"All the communities Belle River, Puce, Comber, Woodslee, Stoney Point, Staples, Lighthouse Cove, Maidstone, St. Joachim and Emeryville, there's 10 communities in our entire municipality that are going to be impacted by this, 38,000 residents in all," says McKinlay.
He says he's not alone.
"I've had an enormous response from the people here that they want to keep their mailing address," says McKinlay. "They don't want to see the town of Lakeshore on their address. They want to say that they're from Comber or they want to say they're from Staples or say they're from Emeryville."
McKinlay — whose wife is Lakeshore Councillor Linda McKinlay — hopes to gather 1,000 signatures and present his petition at an upcoming council meeting.
He says his wife voted against the recommendation along with councillors Tracey Bailey and Dan Diemer.
