top priorities is job creation for a strong
and robust middle class in Canada. This
exciting growth announcement by Am-

Global companies like Amazon see Can-
ada as a strong place to invest because
of our talented workforce and focus on
innovation – that’s translating into more
jobs for people in Vancouver. Congratu-
lations to Amazon on your continued
success – you have a committed part-

“I’m pleased Amazon is increasing their
presence in Vancouver, creating good
jobs and helping us build a strong, sus-
tainable economy that works for every-
one,” said Premier John Horgan. “We
will build on Amazon’s plans to bring
new jobs to B.C. by continuing to open
up access to education and skills train-
ing, so British Columbians are ready to
fill these high-paying jobs.”
“Vancouver’s innovation economy is
booming and it’s exciting to have Am-
