Home Depot Canada says it's hiring 6,700 people ahead of its busy spring season.

The home improvement chain says it is looking to fill full-, part-time and seasonal positions in sales, design and various other job categories.

It says opportunities will vary in each of its 180 stores across the country.

The retailer says spring is its busiest time of the year as people start to fix up their properties after the winter.

The company employs some 28,000 people in Canada.
