Americans keep an eye on Arctic port revival in Churchill

Summary

Nutrition label

80% Informative

US Consul Rebecca Molinoff visited Churchill , MB this month to learn about “trade opportunities” for Canada 's only rail-connected deep-sea Arctic port.

Churchill is at the centre of a proposed Arctic trade corridor to funnel western potash, grain, critical minerals and perhaps bitumen, from the west coast of Hudson Bay to new markets in Europe and elsewhere.

It’s a faster alternative route to Europe than the port of Montreal , providing ready access to South American markets.

It will take enormous investment by governments and industry to bring the 1920s-era port to modern standards.

At the same time, Churchill is a community of about 600 that swells to 900 each summer.

The prospects of more shipping traffic and even bitumen exports are causing many locals to question what the future may hold.
