The Port of Churchill in Manitoba is undergoing significant infrastructure upgrades, with several projects already completed. The Arctic Gateway Group (AGG), which is Indigenous- and community-owned, is leading these efforts to expand freight operations and modernize the port. As Canada’s only Arctic seaport serviced by rail, the Port of Churchill is expected to become a major Canadian trade asset. The upgrades include the completion of a new critical minerals storage facility that triples the port’s storage capacity and the introduction of a second weekly wayfreight train along the Hudson Bay Railway, enhancing service and reliability. Future plans include additional modernization work, such as refacing the wharf. These efforts aim to develop a resilient transportation corridor in the Canadian North, serving the trade, transportation, and security needs of the Arctic region.
