We ship wholesale hardwood cutting boards to Ontario buyers from our base in Quebec. Most orders arrive in 2 to 3 business days. Canadian maple, cherry, and walnut — minimum 24 boards per SKU.
Ontario is our largest market outside Quebec. Toronto, Ottawa, Hamilton, London, Mississauga, Brampton, Kitchener — buyers across the province order from us regularly for restaurants, corporate gifting programs, and everything in between.
Who Orders From Us in Ontario
Two segments make up the majority of our Ontario orders.
Restaurants and commercial kitchens across Toronto and the GTA are the biggest single segment. A city with Toronto’s restaurant density generates serious demand for consistent, quality prep boards. We ship to restaurant groups buying for multiple locations, independent kitchens restocking prep boards, and catering operations that need consistent equipment across a team.
Ottawa restaurants and the National Capital Region come in close behind — a market with a strong mix of independent restaurants, hotel kitchens, and government catering operations that run through boards regularly.
Corporate gifting buyers are the second major Ontario segment. Toronto specifically is one of the strongest corporate gifting markets in Canada. Companies running client gift programs, holiday gifting, employee recognition, and conference swag — hardwood cutting boards with a laser-engraved logo are a common choice for buyers who want something that looks premium without premium pricing.
Ottawa corporate buyers are a distinct sub-segment — government, associations, and professional services firms running structured gifting programs. Mississauga and Brampton — both large business communities — generate solid demand for corporate gifting programs especially around the holiday season.

Restaurants Across Ontario
Hard maple prep boards are the standard for Ontario commercial kitchens. Dense, tight-grained, holds up to daily service without showing serious wear within months. The species that professional kitchens across Canada have been using for decades.
For a Toronto restaurant doing serious volume — multiple stations, multiple prep cooks, boards going through dishwashers and getting replaced on a regular cycle — buying wholesale means predictable quality and predictable cost. Not sourcing from a cash-and-carry every time someone notices the boards are getting rough.
For a smaller independent in Hamilton or London or Kitchener, the 24-board minimum is low enough to make wholesale work. 24 boards across a few station sizes is a reasonable initial order for a kitchen that wants to get ahead of replacements rather than scrambling when boards wear out mid-service.
Multiple locations — a restaurant group running three or four spots across the GTA or the 401 corridor — benefits from wholesale in a specific way. Every kitchen gets the same board. Same dimensions, same species, same weight. Consistent equipment across locations matters for training, for health code compliance, and for the operational simplicity of not managing different board specs at different spots.

Corporate Gifting in Ontario
Ontario corporate gifting buyers come to us primarily for client gifts and holiday programs. A solid Canadian hardwood cutting board with a laser-engraved logo looks like a $50 or $60 gift and comes in under that at wholesale pricing for a program of 50 or more boards.
For a Toronto professional services firm running a year-end client gift program — lawyers, accountants, financial advisors, real estate brokers — a walnut or maple board engraved with the firm’s name sits in a client’s kitchen for years. Daily visibility from a one-time cost.
Ottawa corporate gifting has its own character. Government-adjacent organizations, associations, and professional services firms in the National Capital Region often run more structured programs with longer planning cycles. If you’re setting up an Ottawa corporate gift program for a November or December distribution, reach out in September. Boards ship fast — your engraver needs the lead time, not us.
Mississauga and Brampton buyers — often in logistics, manufacturing, financial services, and technology — tend to run larger volume programs. The suburban GTA corporate market is underserved by premium gifting options and cutting boards at wholesale pricing fill a gap.
Engraving is handled through laser engravers we work with — we supply the blanks and can connect you with an engraver if you don’t have one. More on the corporate gifting page.
