The Manitoba Government is investing $36.4 million over two years for capital infrastructure projects at the Port of Churchill.
The investment will support the Arctic Gateway Group’s port and rail development.
Premier Wab Kinew adds more here.
“When we talk to our friends south of the border in the United States of America, for us to have this presence in Churchill, to be able to say that we are a great partner when it comes to arctic security is super, super important yet at the same time, we need to diversify our export markets, we need to find other countries to sell too.”
Kinew said that development of the Port of Churchill will advance northern Manitoba’s economy and support trade expansion with Europe.
Chris Avery, CEO of AGG, added that in the upcoming shipping season the company will double the volume of critical minerals that will be shipped to international markets from the Port of Churchill.
