Amazon plans to open a new fulfillment center in Caledon, a town in the Greater Toronto Area. The one million-square-foot facility will be the company's sixth fulfillment center in Ontario and ninth in Canada, joining buildings in Brampton, Mississauga and Milton as well as a recently announced facility in Ottawa.
"We continue to be excited about our growth in Ontario and the opportunity to better serve our customers in the region," said Glenn Sommerville, director of Amazon operations in Canada. "We're seeing an incredible workforce and community support in Greater Toronto."
Describing Caledon as "the ideal home for Amazon's latest Canadian expansion," Mayor Allan Thompson said he was "so pleased to welcome this world class, leading edge and customer focused organization to our community."
Amazon currently has more than 6,000 workers at fulfillment centers, corporate offices, development centers and other facilities in Ontario, British Columbia, Alberta and Quebec.
