Cloudflare has announced that Toronto will be home to Cloudflare ’ s first Canadian office and team . While I currently live in San Francisco , I was born and raised in Saskatchewan . As a proud Canadian , today feels like a homecoming .

Canada has always been an important part of our history and customer base , and I am thrilled to see Cloudflare make a further commitment of expanding officially in the country and opening an office in Toronto .
We are hiring a team locally to help our current customers and future customers , and to support even more great Canadian organizations . I wanted to share more about how Cloudflare works with Canadian businesses , what our announcement means and some personal reflections .
