CHURCHILL – The owners of the Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba say grain is set to move through the terminal for the first time since 2020.
Arctic Gateway Group says the restart of grain shipments on Friday is another step toward revitalizing the deepwater Arctic port.
The Indigenous-owned company didn’t say how much grain it expects to flow through the port this year.
It says that along with grain, the port will ship potash, zinc and supplies destined for Nunavut.
The port used to ship hundreds of thousands of tonnes of grain a year before dwindling volumes led to the port’s closure in 2016.
The federal and Manitoba governments have together committed hundreds of millions of dollars towards the renewal of the port and the Hudson Bay Railway that leads to it.
