Flyer distribution is to be phased out beginning June 8 and completed by the end of August. 

Postmedia says it’s directing investment and resources toward the areas of greatest impact and opportunity. 

It says the decision will allow it to “keep pace with industry change, respond to consumer preferences and maintain its role as Canada’s voice.”
