Prime Minister Justin Trudeau visited Brampton Thursday to take part in the official opening of Amazon’s new high-tech distribution centre on the South West end of Brampton.
The new cutting-edge facility already employs 350 people and is set to employ well over 700 full-time employees in the coming months.
The prime minister says that Amazon’s new distribution centre is proof that large corporations see Canada has a worthy place to invest and do business.
Because of the new distribution centre, Amazon Prime customers living in the GTA can now enjoy same day delivery for orders over $25.
Great to see cutting-edge robotics working with Canadian talent at @amazonca's new facility, which brings 700 new jobs to Brampton. pic.twitter.com/Pis3GeHsFK
