There are many good reasons to locate a logistics/distribution operation in Ontario East. Among them are its:

• Location, in the heart of a centrally located region with road, air and sea access to the huge, multiple industrial and consumer markets of Canada—as well as to those of the United States, through our three, efficient U.S. road border crossings and our railroads on the NAFTA Rail Corridor
• Workforce, with its high skill and education levels, high productivity, and low turnover and labour costs
• Infrastructure—transport companies and regional courier hubs that occupy over 30 million sq. ft., including truck operators that offer temperature controlled transport, a leading freight consolidator and the full range of support services, from fabricating shops and customs brokers to maintenance services that include lift-truck repair
• Cost competitiveness, in areas such as worker pay, overall operating costs, average start-up capital costs, taxes, healthcare coverage, telecom costs—plus serviced industrially zoned land averaging $30,000 an acre
