The Port of Churchill, meanwhile, has been trying to expand its business for decades. Its largest customer is the Canadian Wheat Board, which ships grain through Churchill to international ports and — starting this year — domestic ports. The port is also a key supply link for Arctic development projects, such as new mines in Nunavut.
"Manitoba’s port of Churchill is growing in significance each year as Canada’s only deep-water Arctic seaport, and the rail line is an essential link that connects the port and several remote, northern communities and economies to key markets," Premier Gary Doer said in a release.
