Amazon is building a new delivery station in Vaughan that will open in 2021.

The Vaughan delivery station will be located on 50 and 51 Keyes Court. This is in the heart of the Vaughan Enterprise Zone, on the south east corner of Langstaff and Huntington roads. Delivery stations power the last mile of Amazon’s order fulfilment process. Packages are transported from fulfilment and sortation centres to delivery stations and then loaded into vehicles to be delivered to customers. New delivery stations are also confirmed for Kitchener, Stoney Creek, Etobicoke and Scarborough.

The new delivery stations will create hundreds of permanent, full-time and part-time jobs. Also, entrepreneurs can build their own small business delivering Amazon packages, and independent contractors will have the flexibility to be their own boss and create their own schedule delivering for Amazon.

Two new fulfilment centres will be built in Ajax and Hamilton.

These centres are expected to open in 2021 and will create more than 2,500 full-time jobs. Once these centres are built, Amazon will have a total of 10 fulfilment centres in Ontario and 16 in Canada.

The Etobicoke delivery station has already opened, and the Kitchener delivery station will open later this year.

Amazon employs more than 21,000 full- and part-time employees at the company’s fulfilment centres, corporate offices and development centres in Canada.
