We partner with all levels of government to build our Port and strengthen our community. Over the past 15 years, the Canadian and BC Government have been involved in PRPA’s port development vision with critical infrastructure investments in Fairview Container development, Ridley Island rail infrastructure, the Fairview Connector Road, and future logistics operations—all of which unlock the private sector investment that has created jobs, economic opportunity and tax base. Read more about the economic benefits at link in bio.
Our partnerships with First Nations are paramount to the success of the Prince Rupert Gateway, where 38 percent of the local workforce is Indigenous. Working together and fostering our relationships, we are creating new jobs and opportunities for Indigenous people, communities and Indigenous-led businesses, like Coast Tsimshian Northern Contractors Alliance and Gat Leedm Trucking and Logistics. Read more at link in bio.
Our skilled and dedicated people are the most essential resource at our Port. We have a strong working relationship with local labour unions, and together we have strengthened the workforce in our community. For example, the longshore workers and forepersons from ILWU Locals 505 and 514 worked a combined 1.4 million hours in 2021 versus 453,000 in 2011! Read more about the 213% job growth over the past decade at link in bio.
