About the author
Canadian Kodak Company was the Canadian branch of Eastman Kodak. It was incorporated in Toronto in 1899, opened its doors in 1900, and began by serving the growing Canadian market for photographic film, paper, and equipment.
Over time, the company became a major manufacturing presence in Toronto, especially at Kodak Heights. Archival and historical sources describe it as an important part of Canada’s photographic industry for more than a century, with later corporate naming changes including Kodak Canada Inc.
Its history is closely tied to the wider Kodak story: the spread of consumer photography, the growth of film production, and the industry’s eventual shift away from analog processes. Canadian Kodak’s operations came to an end in the 2000s, leaving behind a notable chapter in Toronto industrial history.
