Spa and wellness company, Spafinder Wellness, is expanding its presence in Canada by launching a new French Canadian website and adding Canadian-specific content to Spafinder.ca.

Spafinder Wellness, which has been in business in Canada for six years, has recently opened new offices in Toronto to serve its growing network.

The company has appointed Leslie Bruce as managing director of operations of its Canadian division. Bruce will be responsible for implementing new initiatives, as well as leading the growth of the Spafinder Wellness Canada network of spas, fitness, and wellness businesses.

Previously a member of the executive management team of a division of TUI Travel Group, Bruce has worked in the travel industry for over a decade.

"I am thrilled to join Spafinder Wellness and build a team that will create a uniquely Canadian experience for consumers,” Bruce said.

"It is exciting to be part of a thriving brand in a growing industry, and I look forward to partnering with spa and wellness providers to further develop our Canadian offerings."

The company's gift cards, which can be used at spa, yoga, pilates and fitness/wellness businesses around the globe, are now being sold at over 6,000 retail locations throughout Canada.
