Mcdonald's History

In 1967 the first McDonald's restaurant outside of the United States opened in Richmond, British Columbia. Every day since then, McDonald's Canada has been proud to provide our customers the same great taste, outstanding value, quality and superior service that the Golden Arches is known for worldwide.

Today there are more than 1,400 McDonald's restaurants in Canada, serving approximately three million Canadians every day and employing about 77,000 Canadians from coast to coast.

In all that we do - including our unwavering dedication to customer service, our community involvement and the way we work with employees - we are guided by a set of core values and principles which have allowed McDonald's to achieve such a high level of success in Canada.
