Manitoba must prepare for year-round Hudson Bay shipping access, port owner says

By Ozten Shebahkeget – CBC News

Year-round shipping access through Hudson Bay is a possibility that Manitoba needs to get ready for, and the head of the group that owns the Port of Churchill says it’s possible to strike a balance between environmental concerns and tourism interests.

Trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. have sparked renewed interest in the Port of Churchill, with Manitoba Premier Wab Kinew saying it could be a good option for increased trade with Europe and expansion could fit with the federal government’s plan for nation-building infrastructure.
