Arctic Gateway Group and Invest Tisdale sign MOU to reestablish rail service
Invest Tisdale has entered into an agreement with the Arctic Gateway Group (AGG) to work together to restore and promote two-way rail traffic between Churchill, Man., and Tisdale, Sask.
Reeve Ian Allan of the Rural Municipality of Tisdale said there has been a wish for direct rail service to Churchill since 1995 and for the restoration of grain service since 2015.
“The Arctic Port terminal is essential and is ours to lose,” Allan said. “We need to take action now, building business-to-business relationships with the ownership group at Arctic Gateway and their vision to see Canada’s Arctic Trade Corridor finally thrive.”
The new memorandum of understanding (MOU) focuses on a range of economic development projects for the Tisdale Rail Subdivision for import and export activities.
