This has been a year of progress for the Arctic Gateway Group. The Port of Churchill now has three times the critical mineral storage capacity it did last year and has completed its second consecutive season of shipping critical minerals to Europe. The Hudson Bay Railway is in the best condition in its history, supported by modern monitoring tools that have made it more reliable than ever. Looking ahead, Arctic Gateway Group is diversifying its partnerships and expanding exports across critical minerals, potash, agricultural products, and, through the Port of Churchill Plus initiative, exploring opportunities in Canadian energy.
