The Crown corporation officially opened the 585,000-square-foot Albert Jackson Processing Centre on Thursday, though it has been operating since the spring. The facility in Scarborough, Ont., is named after Albert Jackson, the first Black mail carrier in Canada. Several of Jackson’s descendants were in attendance for the unveiling. (The Logic)

Talking point: The plant is Canada Post’s fastest parcel processing facility yet, with the ability to process more than one million packages a day. Jean-Yves Duclos, the federal procurement minister, said at the event that it would “become the hub of e-commerce in Canada.” The centre—which overtakes Canada Post’s Mississauga, Ont., plant as its largest—is equipped with rooftop solar panels, as well as electric forklifts with their own indoor fast-charging stations (workers can park their equipment and charge them during a lunch break). It has 14 electric telescopic conveyors that can extend out to where tractor trailers dock and help workers get cargo into the building faster.
