Amazon to hire 9,000 employees, open five delivery stations ahead of holiday season

Amazon said it’s hiring 9,000 employees across its Canadian operations and opening five new Amazon Logistics delivery stations in preparation for the holiday season.

The e-commerce giant is hiring full-time, part-time and seasonal roles, with new delivery stations set to come online in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario by the end of October.

Delivery stations will be located in Burnaby, B.C. (Riverbend Business Park); Calgary (Rocky View County); Windsor, Ont. (Dodge Drive); Ottawa (Ottawa East) and Richmond Hill, Ont. (Vogell Road).

Amazon is also opening two “exchange point”' package depots in Ontario, located in Sarnia and Cornwall, before the end of 2025. 

The facilities will be operated by local third-party Amazon Delivery Service Partners using the company’s logistics technology. 

"Amazon's last mile network plays a critical role in helping us continue to deliver safely at the fastest speeds ever. The new Amazon delivery stations and exchange points bring us closer to customers while allowing us to invest in local communities and create good jobs," said Jasmin Begagic, director, Canada Operations, at Amazon Logistics, in a release.

With the opening of these new delivery stations, Amazon's current footprint in Canada now encompasses more than 65 different logistics sites, from Victoria, B.C. to Halifax.
