The North Shore Trade Area, covering Port terminals and industrial activities along the north shore of Burrard Inlet, is a critical export gateway to the Asia-Pacific region.
Currently, the North Shore terminals are estimated to generate about 19,400 direct and indirect jobs in Canada (of which 12,300 jobs are based in B.C.), and $1.2 billion in direct and indirect GDP ($790 million in B.C.). Investments in an efficient and effective transportation system in the area will enable the economic benefits of this strategic gateway to be realized to their full potential.
The direct funding participants in North Shore Trade Area improvements are the Government of Canada, the B.C. Ministry of Transportation and Infrastructure, Port Metro Vancouver, TransLink, the District of North Vancouver, the City of North Vancouver, Kinder Morgan Canada Terminals L.P., Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway.
Consulted participants were the Squamish Nation, the District of West Vancouver, Univar Canada Ltd., Canexus Chemicals Canada Limited Partnership, Western Stevedoring Company Limited, Neptune Bulk Terminals (Canada) Ltd., Cargill Limited, Richardson International, Fibreco Export Inc., and Washington Marine Group.
