We are very appreciative of the hard work and contributions of our team members, who took care of our customers and made it possible for FedEx Office to earn its reputation as a provider of the very best in production, printing and shipping services.
- This includes all 24 centres, the manufacturing plant and our head office in Toronto.
- This decision impacts 214 FedEx Office team members in Canada.
