Critical minerals from Snow Lake, MB have been loaded at the Port of Churchill and are now bound for international markets. We're proud to help diversify Canada’s trade and move Canadian resources to the world.
Thank you to Hudbay Minerals Inc. and, most of all - our team who made this happen. Without the dedication from everyone on the Hudson Bay Railway and Port of Churchill teams, we couldn't make this a reality.
Through the North, across the world.
