Due to all the new models, refinements and exciting changes around here,
Subaru Canada, Inc. has found the need to grow and spread its wings. Our
Canadian corporate headquarters has recently moved into a brand new facility
that is as beautiful as it is functional – a perfect fit for Subaru, wouldn’t you
say? Beyond our new building, we have also implemented a new Envir
