"Go north to reach a seaport that can
get you to European markets faster than
the Panama Canal can. Go south to a very
efficient border crossing and an artery right
through the centre of the United States.
And, of course, use our amazing 24-hour
international airport if you need to reach
anywhere by air. It's an attractive value
proposition for companies that need to
have goods coming in and out, which is
basically every company."
For the many businesses already capital-
izing on Manitoba's tri-modal supply chain
— Imperial Seed, for example, ships to 30
countries via its CentrePort location — a
robust network isn't just on the horizon.
Edmundson says the future is now.
"If I could sit all of Manitoba down, I
would tell them that we often talk about
this in a future state — 'we will be this cen-
tre of trade and transportation' — I would
argue that we are already there." ■
Arctic Gateway Group
made history this past summer
with the first transport of 10,000
tonnes of zinc concentrate
mined in Manitoba with the
Hudson Bay Railway to the Port
of Churchill, where it was loaded
onto a ship that departed for
Europe in early August.
