Working in Scarborough

Warehouse work in Scarborough

Warehouse work in Scarborough leans toward import distribution, courier depots and food distribution: pickers, lumpers, shippers and receivers in Milliken (Steeles, Kennedy and Midland), along Tapscott Road and Progress Avenue, and in the Golden Mile along Eglinton. Many food distributors here have refrigerated areas, which pay a premium.

The 53 Steeles East, 43 Kennedy, 129 McCowan North and 985 Sheppard East Express reach the industrial areas, Milliken GO sits inside the Steeles–Kennedy park, and Blue Night buses keep the main roads served after the subway closes. Pay in Scarborough warehouses typically runs $18 to $21 an hour for general roles and $20 to $25 for forklift, with cold-room premiums.

Where the work is

  1. Golden Mile (Eglinton Avenue East, Victoria Park to Birchmount)

    Legacy manufacturing and distribution mixed with new retail. Warehouse, general labour and light-assembly roles.

  2. Milliken (Steeles, Kennedy and Midland)

    A dense industrial park straddling the Markham border: food processing, plastics, printing, electronics and import distribution. Production staff, machine operators, forklift operators, shippers and receivers.

  3. Tapscott, Progress and Markham Road

    Warehousing, courier depots and food distribution. Order pickers, packers, lumpers and drivers.

Getting there

Getting to work in Scarborough

Scarborough is well served by the TTC. Line 2 ends at Kennedy, and the 53 Steeles East, 43 Kennedy, 129 McCowan North, 102 Markham Road and 985 Sheppard East Express reach the Milliken and Tapscott industrial areas, while the Eglinton corridor runs the length of the Golden Mile. GO's Stouffville line stops at Kennedy, Agincourt and Milliken; Milliken GO sits at Steeles and Kennedy, inside the industrial park.

Night shifts are workable. The 300-series Blue Night network keeps Steeles, Sheppard and Kennedy served after the subway closes, which is one reason Scarborough plants can run 24 hours with local staff.

Most of our Scarborough workers live in Scarborough, Markham or East York and commute under 30 minutes. That shows up as retention.
