Amazon expands footprint in Metro Vancouver with warehouse the size of nine football fields
Online retail giant Amazon has made a gigantic bet — the size of 9½ Canadian Football League fields — on its B.C. logistics chain with a new warehouse in Pitt Meadows that will serve as a hub for distribution operations in the Lower Mainland. In Amazon parlance, the 825,000-square-foot facility on Airport Way and Harris Road, is a storage and distribution fulfilment centre, which fits in at the front end of its logistics chain, receiving and holding shipments of inventory from sellers that is then moved out to one of its four customer fulfilment centres within Metro Vancouver. Approaching the centre's glass-fronted administration building, the warehouse looks like a blocks-long great wall that stretches out almost to the edge of a person's view.

'Fun fact, this is almost twice the size of Rogers Arena in the downtown,' said Surakesh Kumar Aruchamy, Amazon's regional director of operations at the building's official opening. 'And the building's cube is more than 35 Olympic sized swimming pools, that's how much space we have.' It's staffed at the outset by a crew of 100, mostly associates, who are receiving truckloads of new inventory and stacking it on the rows of tightly spaced shelving that stretch half the length of the building. Aruchamy said about half the space is being used now, but is slowly filling up. On a visit Friday morning, the quiet within the cavernous space was sporadically punctuated by horn honks on the battery-powered self pickers — stacking forklifts that lift up cage platforms for workers to put inventory on shelves. The new warehouse, identified as YXX1 in Amazon's system, is the first storage and distribution centre in B.C. in a location picked, in part, based on the company's objective to 'be closer to customers,' Aruchamy said. 'British Columbia is one of our biggest markets within Canada and we want to make things faster for customers, get closer to the customers,' he added. And 'the Lower Mainland is a very strategic location.' Narrowing down the specific location is a formula that involves finding a site that is close enough to the customer fulfilment centres in Tsawwassen, Delta, Richmond and New Westminster that is also big enough to hold the inventory it needs to, Aruchamy said. 'There are multiple factors which goes into deciding how big a facility needs to be,' Aruchamy said. 'We call it working backwards.' That starts with estimating how much inventory they need for a population the size of the Lower Mainland to hit their targets for delivery times. 'We call it one-day speed,' Aruchamy said. 'What percentage of our orders get delivered within the same day and within one day or two days.' Then it's a matter of building a warehouse that can accommodate the amount of shelving, the number of forklifts and truck bays to house and move around that estimated stockpile of inventory. During Friday's tour, workers were busy taking merchandise off trucks, running them along conveyors to be scanned into inventory, then placing them in the cages that pickers move to shelves for storage. The facility fits in at the front end of Amazon's logistics chain — no customer orders are picked and packed in Pitt Meadows. Instead, on the other side of the loading dock, workers are reversing the process — taking merchandise requested by its four customer fulfilment centres, sorting those orders, scanning them again and putting them back on trucks for delivery. Large video displays indicate one truck is heading to Richmond and one is destined for Edmonton. The Pitt Meadows site is almost adjacent to an existing Amazon delivery station, one of the facilities at the last step of its logistics chain. 'So I think we have a good infrastructure available (in Pitt Meadows),' Aruchamy said. 'Sometimes we have a bigger facility, but we take the best possible real estate possible,' he added. 'Then also it has to work out for us financially because we want to deliver products faster, but also not cost a lot.' The timing of its opening might be awkward due to cross-border trade tensions. About 55 per cent of Canadians polled by Leger Marketing in a survey in March declared they would cut back on orders from U.S. headquartered Amazon as a protest over threatened U.S. tariffs, President Donald Trump's threats to Canadian sovereignty and Amazon founder Jeff Bezos' apparent closeness with Trump. Aruchamy couldn't comment on the polling results, or on Amazon's Canadian sales performance, but emphasized that the centre represents a substantial investment by Amazon Canada. 'Small businesses in Canada sell through us, we sell a lot of made in Canada products and we do make a big impact (on) local economics,' Aruchamy said. Pitt Meadows Mayor Nicole MacDonald welcomed Amazon's investment in the facility, and as a new corporate sponsor for community events. 'What we really want to see is jobs and skilled growth,' MacDonald said. 'We're really excited to see Amazon investing back in the community.' depenner@ Canada's biggest online retailer has a substantial footprint in the Lower Mainland with 12 locations ranging from distribution to fulfilment and delivery stations as follows: Storage and distribution fulfilment YXX1, 825,000 square feet, Pitt Meadows Customer fulfilment centres YXX2, 440,000 square feet, Richmond YVR2, 190,000 square feet, Delta YVR3, 580,000 square feet, New Westminster YVR 4, 450,000 square feet, Tsawwassen Sorting centres Langley AMXL Delivery stations Langley Delivery stations Burnaby (2), Delta, Langley, Pitt Meadows Source: Amazon

PWHL Vancouver signs former Charge goaltender Maschmeyer to two-year contract.
VANCOUVER - Vancouver's Professional Women's Hockey League team continued to add to its initial roster Thursday by signing goaltender Emerance Maschmeyer to a two-year contract. Maschmeyer spent the last two seasons with the Ottawa Charge. She was one of the franchise's three foundational signings in the PWHL's inaugural season, but she sustained a season-ending lower-body injury in March. Gwyneth Philips was excellent in relief as the Charge advanced to the Walter Cup final, and the 30-year-old Maschmeyer was left unprotected by Ottawa heading into the exclusive signing period and expansion draft to stock the rosters of the teams in Vancouver and Seattle that start play in 2026. ARTICLE CONTINUES BELOW Maschmeyer from Bruderheim, Alta., had 15 wins with two shutouts, a goals-against-average of 2.42 and save percentage of .914 over two seasons in Ottawa. It's another splash by Vancouver general manager Cara Gardner Morey, who opened the signing period by luring defenders Claire Thompson and Sophie Jaques away from the two-time defending champion Minnesota Frost. Both players are finalists for the league's defender of the year award. 'Joining Vancouver is an incredible opportunity, and I'm thrilled to be a part of such an exciting chapter of the league's expansion,' Maschmeyer said in a release. 'Vancouver has proven to be a vibrant hockey city and I'm thrilled to play in front of such passionate fans. I'm aligned with Cara's vision and values and honoured to have the opportunity to help build this organization's culture from the ground up.' Maschmeyer represented Canada at three world championships and was on the roster of the Olympic championship team at the 2022 Beijing Games. The Charge also lost forward Danielle Serdachny to Seattle. Expansion teams have an exclusive window to sign a maximum of five players up until 5 p.m. ET Sunday. The expansion draft is Monday. Seattle and Vancouver will select a minimum of seven players until each has reached a 12-player roster. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 5, 2025.
