Walmart Canada is investing $1 billion in its infrastructure this year as part of the retailer\u2019s efforts to speed up and transform the business for its customers. A cornerstone of the investment includes more than $100 million earmarked for the building of a new high-tech sortable fulfillment centre near Montreal, in Vaudreuil-Dorion, Que., the first such centre for Walmart in the province.<\/p>\n

The new facility, which will be built by Harden, a second-generation family-owned real-estate company that owns and operates commercial, residential and industrial properties in Quebec and Ontario, is currently slated to open in 2024. It will support Walmart\u2019s in-store and online operations.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are thrilled to partner with a brand and business as strong and reputable as Walmart,\u201d said Tyler and Chris Harden, co-CEOs of Harden. \u201cThis state-of-the-art fulfillment centre is a true testament to their vision for the future of retailing and a long-term commitment to Vaudreuil and the province of Quebec as a growing hub. We are proud to be executing the construction of this project on behalf of Walmart Canada, with our in-house construction team, and to add this asset to our portfolio.\u201d<\/p>\n

The new fulfillment centre will be approximately 457,000 square feet and will serve as a delivery hub for millions of customer orders in Quebec and Atlantic Canada. The facility will be powered by cutting-edge logistics technology and will be capable of shipping 20 million items annually from the facility to local customers.<\/p>\n

The facility will create approximately 225 new jobs in Quebec, in addition to the construction and engineering jobs.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis important investment is the latest example of Walmart\u2019s commitment to Quebec,\u201d said Cyrille Ballereau, Walmart Canada\u2019s regional vice-president for Quebec. \u201cWe are investing for growth in Quebec and creating jobs for Quebecers to better serve our customers.\u201d<\/p>\n

The company also plans to spend $330 million to revamp and refresh more than 80 stores from B.C. to Newfoundland and Labrador, providing more than 2,500 trade and construction jobs.<\/p>\n
