Talks to explore a sustainable year-round shipping season at Canada’s northernmost, deepwater port are set to get underway, following an agreement between the port’s ownership group and a Montreal-based dry bulk shipping company.

The Port of Churchill in northern Manitoba, which has a brief operational window each summer, is owned and operated by Arctic Gateway Group, a partnership of dozens of First Nations and Hudson Bay communities.
