We now sell vacuums, hair dryers, purifiers and humidifiers, fans and heaters, lighting and hand dryers coast to coast. We think big, pushing into uncharted territory, that's why we continue to maintain our market-leading position. Based downtown, Dyson Canada’s HQ borders the financial and theatre districts, surrounded by some of Canada’s most inspiring urban engineering. The industrial studio space has an open-plan design, big windows and plenty of fresh air. It helps create an environment where we can bring Dyson technology to people across Canada.
Dyson machines have been displayed in the Montréal Museum of Art and there's a James Dyson Foundation exhibit at Vancouver's Science World.
Canadian engineering teams have twice won the international James Dyson Award, taking home $50,000 to further their project and $8,500 to their school's engineering department. In 2015, University of Waterloo students won with Voltera V-One, a desktop sized rapid-prototyping printer. In 2017, McMaster University students won with The sKan, a low cost, handheld device to diagnose melanoma.
There’s a great team spirit, with annual beach volleyball tournaments and scavenger hunts. They're community-minded too. Throughout the year the Forward Dyson team helps organise events in the office to raise money for local charities, from chilli cook-offs to bake sales.
