Google is opening a new office in Toronto
Google has announced plans to build three new offices in Canada, two of which are in Ontario, and Toronto is one of the locations.
Alongside Toronto, Montreal, and Waterloo will be getting Google offices, and by 2022, the company’s Canadian offices will accommodate up to 5,000 employees. The news comes 19 years after Google opened its first Canadian office in Toronto in 2001, with just one employee. Today, the tech-industry leader employs more than 1,500 people in the city including engineers, game developers, sales leaders, and AI researchers.
“The open web allows any size company or individual creator in Canada to become a global business and reach customers,” says Ruth Porat, Senior Vice President and CFO at Google in a release.
“Canada’s digital economy is now bigger than its forestry, mining, and gas industries, and the transition to digital reflects incredible momentum for Canadian businesses leveraging data and online technologies.”
