The federal government is launching a study into the Port of Churchill in Manitoba to gather industry input on the northern port’s growth potential.

According to Prairies Economic Development Canada (PEDC), the “market sounding study” will engage with senior executives across sectors like mining, energy, potash, and grain to “better understand how transformative infrastructure investments could shape long-term planning.”
