Community Investment

Serving Canada one community at a time

When it comes to investing in the community, Walmart Canada thinks locally – working to develop and sustain positive partnerships by investing, operating and contributing directly to many local communities.

Now with 329 stores across Canada, we seek to offer a true one-stop-shopping destination for Canadian customers. With this goal in mind, our current focus is to expand our product offerings by integrating food in the majority of our stores under the supercentre banner.

In 2010, we made considerable progress towards realizing our ongoing community goals:

• 3,800 new jobs created
• 6,950 jobs created for workers in the construction trades
• 7,543 Canadian suppliers and service providers
• $15.1 billion to Canadian suppliers and service providers
