Office supply retailer Grand & Toy downsized an Ottawa distribution centre on Thursday, cutting about 34 staff.
The company told about half of the employees at a Belfast Road distribution centre they were out of a job.
The company said it is restructuring the way it keeps its local retail locations stocked. Inventory will now be stored at a warehouse in Toronto and shipped to Ottawa overnight.
The Belfast Road warehouse is 40 years old, but only an eighth the size of the Toronto facility.
