The Ottawa Citizen confirms that up to 20 editorial jobs will eliminated at the paper in the next few months.
"The only way we can be competitive is to create a new company that leverages its history and moves aggressively into the future," said Paul Godfrey in an internal memo to Ottawa Citizen employees.
"We are continuing on this path and looking to further reduce our print-related infrastructure costs, build out our digital platforms and invest in growth areas of our business."
Godfrey wrote in the memo that the Sunday edition of the paper would be eliminated in Ottawa, Calgary and Edmonton.
Postmedia is also suspending the Monday edition of the National Post for the summer, as it has done for the past three years.
"The way we produce our newspapers can be a strategic advantage for a company of our size and over the last few years, Postmedia Editorial Services in Hamilton (PES) has expanded services to our newspapers by providing a majority of their pagination and layout."
Godfrey said this practice will continue with more of the newspaper's pages.
A paywall will also be implemented in mid-June
