For the first time in six years, the Port of Churchill shipped Canadian grain to Europe
The shipment is the first grain vessel from Churchill since 2020 and the first of three expected this season, officials said.
- On Monday, the Port of Churchill began loading a 30,000-tonne shipment of Canadian durum wheat bound for Europe, marking the first grain export since 2020.
- Arctic Gateway Group, an Indigenous- and community-owned partnership, operates the port and Hudson Bay Railway after taking control when previous owner OmniTrax shut down operations in 2016.
- Saskatchewan-Based AGT Foods partnered with the port for this shipment, with two additional grain vessels expected this season as part of a diversified shipping strategy.
- Northern Affairs Minister Rebecca Chartrand stated the port's return helps Canada diversify trade and reduce reliance on a single market amid ongoing U.S. trade uncertainty.
- Studies commissioned by the port suggest year-round shipping could become feasible as Arctic sea ice melts, while SYSTRA Canada continues railway modernization work.
