Boeing in Canada

Boeing has a long history in Canada. We started in 1919. Mr. Bill Boeing flew a bundle of mail from Vancouver to Seattle and that really marked the beginning of Boeing in Canada. We've certainly grown over the decades. Today you will find Boeing producing products, delivering services and supporting our customers from coast to coast. We have multiple sites across Canada doing a lot of different things. Winnipeg is the largest composite fabrication facility in Canada, supplying over 100 specific parts to our 700 series aircraft. The parts that we're building here, yes you might not see the full aircraft, but when you travel you see that Boeing name on there and you should feel proud that you did everything you could to make sure that went out in a safe manner, built to the plan. It's a global company that people are flying on it every day and they're trusting us, their families are trusting us that we're going to give good parts. We really care about what we're doing here in Winnipeg. We do that and we're so passionate and so proud of the parts that we are building. On the defense side, our main role is to support the Royal Canadian Air Force and their mission and their capabilities. Look at the aircrafts that we make that help our Royal Canadian Air Force defend our country. The Chinook program here at Ottawa, Petawawa and Renfrew and then Trenton with the C-17 program. It's very important whatever to provide the Royal Canadian Air Force with the best service that we can. We are retaining that experience locally. Crucial for us to make sure that we have the best serviceability rate so that we can better serve the Canadian Armed Forces. We serve a greater purpose than ourselves. We directly impact how quickly they have functioning birds and how quickly they can deploy on a moment's notice, seeing how every small component adds to it. We are always looking for how our customers would use a particular software or a module to ensure that we can test it in a way that it is foolproof before we send it to them for use. The charitable arm of Boeing as a whole, the impact that it has on whoever it touches is immeasurable and the results of what we do I think is so important especially in the communities that we're touching. Boeing distribution will deal with customers from every segment and supporting the industry within Canada. It's critical to the success of the aviation community in Canada. The aerospace sector in Canada is extremely strong. As a Boeing employee I'm tremendously excited each time Boeing further utilizes these suppliers truly from coast to coast. Boeing is the premier aerospace company in the world and to have it in Canada it's incredibly gratifying.
