Canada Packers was the largest meat packing and meat processing company in Canada, located in Ontario. It is now part of Maple Leaf Foods through a merger with Maple Leaf Mills.

"Canada Packers Inc, was formed in 1927 in Toronto, Ontario through the amalgamation of the Harris Abbatoir Company, Gunns Limited and the William Davies Company - Canada's oldest meat packing company founded in the 1860s. The architect of this merger was J. Stanley McLean, Secretary-Treasurer of the Harris Abbatoir Company, who became the first president of Canada Packers Limited, a post he held for 30 years. Canada Packers Inc. dominated the meat processing industry and was a leading researcher, processor and marketer of a wide range of meat and agri products in Canada and abroad."
