Mercedes-Benz Canada

We recently celebrated the grand opening of a new AMG Brand Centre at Silver Star Mercedes-Benz. The AMG Brand Centre at 7800 Decarie Blvd in Montreal is one of only eleven AMG Brand Centres in the world. It is the second AMG Brand Centre in Canada. Canada – and particularly Quebec – has a passion for performance luxury. By creating this space where enthusiasts can be immersed in the track-bred world of Mercedes-AMG, Mercedes-Benz Silver Star is meeting a clear demand while fueling that passion. Mercedes-Benz Silver Star went full throttle for the grand opening celebration of the AMG Brand Centre. Guests had the opportunity to experience the thrill of motorsport in two racing simulators, which allowed them to drive Mercedes-AMG GT4 race cars around a virtual track. Mercedes-Benz Silver Star worked with Montreal-based Advanced SimRacing to offer this high-adrenaline experience. Congratulations to the team at Mercedes-Benz Silver Star on an incredible grand opening event and a beautiful new facility! #AMGBrandCentre #AMG #PerformanceLuxury #MercedesBenzCanada

Our Leadership Lunches are an opportunity for colleagues from across the organization to build camaraderie, exchange ideas and share informal, open dialogue with senior leadership about business topics and organizational culture.

Thank you to Mercedes-Benz Toronto Queensway for allowing us to hold this session in the boardroom of your state-of-the-art new facility! #MercedesBenzCanada #MBLeadershipLunches

I’m a great believer in open innovation because it gives us rapid and direct access to the latest technologies and developments around the world.   The most recent example is the expansion of our activities in Canada: We are partnering with the Ontario Vehicle Innovation Network (OVIN), the Government of Ontario’s flagship initiative for the automotive and mobility sector. The purpose is to expand our startup scouting activities in North America and to promote the commercialisation of automotive innovation.   The jointly founded OVIN Incubators will focus on identifying and fostering innovation in future software & AI, future vehicle components and future electric drive. Working with startups, we will help progress promising projects through the provision of specialist expertise and use cases. Selected projects will also benefit from our international STARTUP AUTOBAHN network.   Canada and Ontario in particular is a hotbed of ideas and innovation, which is why we are particular excited to engage with startups and possible partners there. Our participation in the OVIN Incubators is the latest initiative underpinned by our Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the government of Canada, signed in 2022.   #Technology

2 days, 11,580 pounds of food sorted, 219 pounds donated as an organization. In the month of September, Mercedes-Benz Canada and Mercedes-Benz Financial Services Canada Corporation were able to give close to #12000meals to people in need. During the two-day corporate Food Drive and Food Sorting Event hosted by our Environmental Social Governance (ESG) Committee, employees worked together to make this happen at Food Banks Mississauga. CTV News recently reported: “More than one million people visited an Ontario food bank in the last year”. In the same article, Meghan Nicholls, CEO for Food Banks Mississauga, said that the City of Mississauga is seeing the fastest increase in food bank use in Ontario and in the rest of Canada. 🥫 🥘 🆘 Helping our community is an integral part of our corporate philosophy and employees' values. We will continue to do our part, educate our employees, provide employees with volunteer days and hands-on support where needed. Article source: https://lnkd.in/g-t5z8J7

When something unexpected happens while driving, there's reassurance knowing you drive an electric vehicle from Mercedes-Benz. #MercedesBenzCanada #EVSafety

It was a privilege to learn from Chef David Wolfman at our office last week. Chef Wolfman is an internationally recognized expert in traditional Indigenous cuisine. Over cedar and cranberry tea, he shared stories of his heritage and how he learned to cook traditional cuisine from his mother. He spoke about the importance of passing along these traditions in order to celebrate and preserve Indigenous culture in Canada. He also emphasized the importance of all Canadians learning and understanding the truth of what happened in residential schools, while underscoring the need for reconciliation to heal and move forward as a nation. As we prepare to observe the National Day of Truth and Reconciliation, we thank Chef Wolfman for sharing his time with us, and our Diversity, Equity and Inclusion Council for organizing this important learning opportunity for our team. 

Our team recently got together for “Stars, Cars, STEPs, & Coffee”—a beautiful day featuring some of the best of the product lineup, as well as beverages and sweet treats. Plus, with the annual corporate step-a-thon still on, it was a chance for attendees to get extra steps in during the workday. For some employees, that additional effort also meant “stepping up” for a great cause: they are running a fundraising drive in support of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Peel York that’s linked below to their step-a-thon participation. https://lnkd.in/eHxsyg7q   For more information about Mercedes-Benz Canada’s broader partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Canada, visit https://lnkd.in/gR77ZkcP.
