Canada Post: Carriers that Care


End-to-end service design for Canada Post. 
Student project for IAT 438: Experience Design (SFU). 

Collaborators: Jasper Precilla, Samaila Newaz, Tristan Turisno, Hugo Duran

The brief

Pick a client, identify a design opportunity, and come up with a desirable solution through experience design

The solution

A proposal for a service that leverages the exisiting Canada Post network to deliver in-person checkins to seniors living alone. Designed with a focus on high-trust rural neighbourhoods in Canada, with plans to scale services to wider areas.

How it works

1. Canadians with senior family members living alone can sign their loved ones up for Carriers that Care.
2. Deliverymen of Canada Post, who already have the widest delivery route reach out of any delivery service in Canada, will make routine visits to senior members who have been registered.
3. Following each visit, pre-designed reports describing each check-in will be filled out by the deliverymen and sent to families of the seniors.

This project came with a lot of confusion and concern, primarily around the area of trust and concern around seniors being checked-in on. Below are some of the most common questions we got, with answers:
