‘Significant Event’: Grain to Be Exported Out of Manitoba’s Port of Churchill for First Time Since 2020
The first shipment since 2020 will be stored at the port and exported later this summer, officials said.
- On Friday, July 17, Prairie grain will resume movement along the Hudson Bay Railway to the Port of Churchill, marking the first grain shipment through the northern corridor since 2020.
- Arctic Gateway Group, an Indigenous-owned partnership of 41 First Nations and northern communities, operates the corridor. Chair and Churchill Mayor Mike Spence called it "an important day for Arctic Gateway Group, for Prairie producers."
- Beyond grain, the facility will export critical minerals, potash, and industrial goods to Nunavut this year. CEO Chris Avery stated the strategy aims to "diversify Canadian trade through a reliable northern trade corridor."
- Cargo will travel 1,300 km north from The Pas, Manitoba, for export, where multiple vessels will ship goods to global markets later this summer.
- Federal and provincial governments have committed hundreds of millions to upgrade the railway and port infrastructure, including storage domes and utility upgrades supporting potential liquefied natural gas exports by 2030.
