Canadian consumers will reportedly not be celebrating their own version of Amazon’s annual omnichannel sales extravaganza this year.
According to Daily Hive, an Amazon spokesperson confirmed that Prime Day will not take place in Canada in 2021.
“Due to the impact of COVID-19, we have decided to not move forward with Prime Day in Canada this year while we focus on the health and safety of our employees, customers and selling partners,” the spokesperson told the Daily Hive. Amazon partially closed three Canadian distribution centers in Ontario in May 2021, following positive COVID-19 tests among employees.
