Following the announcement from Canada`s Minister of Labour directing the Canada Industrial Relations Board to order the resumption of port operations and commence binding arbitration to resolve the labour disruption, our Gateway partners are collaborating on preparations for safely and efficiently restoring the flow of all cargoes through the Port of Prince Rupert.
Our Port has built a global reputation for reliability, and we are committed to working together all of our supply chain partners to rebuild the trust and confidence of shippers.
We are saddened by the passing of former BC Premier John Horgan. John showed consistent interest in Prince Rupert, and we considered him a champion of our port’s development. His unwavering commitment and contributions to all of BC will not be forgotten. We extend our deepest condolences to John’s family and friends during this difficult time.
