Canada Post building Vancouver processing facility

MM&D MAGAZINE, NOVEMBER/DECEMBER 2011 PRINT EDITION:

Canada Post plans to build a new facility at the Vancouver International Airport in Richmond, BC. The corporation has secured a long-term land lease with the airport authority, and the building will be on a 42-acre parcel of land at the city’s international airport. The 700,000-square-foot processing facility is expected to be fully running in 2014.

Canada Post said it’s investing $200 million in the multi-purpose facility and related equipment. The plant will process letters, parcels, packets and advertising mail. The new facility will be built to Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) standards.
