Governments commit over $79M to restore Hudson Bay Railway and redevelop Churchill Port, boosting Manitoba's economy.

The Canadian federal and Manitoba governments have committed over $79 million to restore the Hudson Bay Railway and redevelop the Port of Churchill, aiming to boost the province's economy and diversify trade routes, particularly to Europe. The federal government will provide $43 million for the railway, while Manitoba will contribute $36.4 million for port infrastructure. Ownership of the railway and port by Arctic Gateway Group, a consortium of northern and First Nation communities, since 2018, highlights the project's emphasis on Indigenous economic leadership and regional development.
