Since we opened the doors of our first restaurant in Richmond, British Columbia, more than three decades ago, we've been proud to provide Canadians and guests to our country the same great taste, outstanding value and superior service that is synonymous with the Golden Arches all over the world. Today there are more than 1,200 McDonald's Restaurants in Canada, serving approximately three million Canadians everyday and employing about 77,000 Canadians from coast to coast. Only through a well-defined set of core Values and Principles has McDonald's been able to achieve such a high level of success in Canada.
