Mandate / Operating Values

"To cost-effectively meet supply requirements and provide centralized mail services to organizations within the broader public service, including provincial, federal and municipal governments."

MDA is not funded by government and must collect revenue to cover its operational, staffing, rent and other related costs through the sale and distribution of mail, products and services. The driving force of MDA is to provide value-added customer service, without the requirement to improve net profits.
