Early on we were thinking, ‘What’s happening here?’ Purolator president and CEO John Ferguson said in an interview. And what we found was people were working from their cottages or summer homes, or they were simply moving into the country and working remotely.
The areas where Purolator has seen particular spikes in demand include popular country retreats for city residents, like the Laurentian Mountains in Quebec and the Owen Sound region in Ontario, Ferguson said. Purolator has also seen a rise in shipments to northern Alberta and Vancouver Island, Ferguson said.
The company saw a year-over-year increase of more than 65 per cent for shipments going to remote locations in 2020. A spokeswoman for Purolator didn t specify how much money the company had budgeted for the upgrades to its terminals.
