Biographical history
Polaroid came to Canada in 1958 and the first plant was on Beaverdale Road, Etobicoke, later moving to 24 Plywood Place, Toronto. He joined the Polaroid Corporation of Canada due to their copy service. He was hired in April 1962 and trained in Cambridge, Mass for 6 weeks, before returning to Canada to design and build the first copy service lab at Plywood Place, as sole operator, with one assistant. The lab, relocated to 350 Carlingview Drive, Toronto, closed in 1979, due to smaller, local competition, but he continued to work for the camera until January 1996.
