Amazon Canada has opened YUL9—its “most advanced” sort centre in the country, in Coteau-du-Lac, Que. The facility purports to “create 500 full-time jobs with comprehensive benefits starting on day one as part of Amazon Canada’s commitment to generate 15,000 new great and safe positions across the country this fall.”
The 720,000 sq. ft. facility is the first in Canada to integrate Amazon Robotics’ mobile fulfillment systems in 2022. The advanced technology allows users to improve the speed and efficiency of its services to better serve its customers in Eastern Canada and make the workplaces safer.
From its strategic location in the heart of the ALTA industrial park, the Coteau-du-Lac sort centre strengthens Vaudreuil-Soulanges’ position as a crucial transportation and logistics hub. Andrée Brosseau, Mayor of Coteau-du-Lac, Patrick Bousez, prefect of the Vaudreuil-Soulanges RCM, Joanne Brunet, general manager of DEV Vaudreuil-Soulanges and Francine St-Denis, general manager of the employment organization Réseaux, joined the launch with members from the Vaudreuil-Soulanges regional county municipality.
