UPS Canada Celebrates 30 Years

UPS in Canada
UPS Canada first opened for business in the basement of a Toronto hotel on February 28, 1975. Glenn Smith, the company's first president, directed UPS Canada's delivery fleet, which consisted of a single package car delivering in downtown Toronto.

Today, the company has more than 6,500 employees in 54 facilities across the country, and provides service to every address in Canada, the United States, and more than 200 countries and territories worldwide. UPS Canada also plays a key role in the timely and accurate importation and clearance of packages through Canada Customs for all modes of transportation, regardless of whether the shipment is carried by UPS or another carrier.
