Welcome Wagon

Welcome Wagon still active after 75 years

The year 2005 marks 75 years of Welcome Wagon service in Canada. Celebrations were held across Canada starting in early April and ending in May. Outstanding Hostesses were honoured at one of four regional conferences. Also honoured were outstanding Welcome Wagon communities and local services and merchants who have been a part of Welcome Wagon’s services for anywhere from 10 to 75 years.

Today more than 1200 Welcome Wagon Hostesses across Canada work within their local communities. A team of 23 field managers hire, train and guide them. From Head Office in Ontario, more than 45 employees coordinate the Welcome Wagon administrative support generated by representing over 16,000 businesses and visiting more than 300,000 families individually each year.

Welcome Wagon has always been associated with the moving and relocation processes, but the company also serves many other occasions and lifestyle changes. Special events are organized for brides-to-be, expectant mothers, grandparents, semi-retired people and retired people. New mothers and their babies are visited at home soon after the birth. There are business-to-business presentations for executives and professionals when change and movement occur. Still, more Hostesses are needed in Orléans and the surrounding areas.

Welcome Wagon has much to celebrate during its 75th anniversary. Twenty-six years ago Welcome Wagon Ltd. became totally Canadian management-owned. Over the years, Welcome Wagon has enjoyed hundreds of citations from civic officials and communities in recognition of its many services.
