Port of Churchill

With OmniTrax announcing the closure of the Port of Churchill, it’s having drastic effects on jobs across Northern Manitoba. Town of The Pas Mayor says has met with other municipal and provincial leaders last week and they’re starting to make plans. "The short term plan that we have is to salvage the 2016 shipping season. Let's figure out how we can do that. I don't know what that means at this point, it might mean that we get people who are in the business, to perhaps lease the locomotives, lease the tract space, lease the port, and get that grain moving."

The provincial government has made promises to make the transition for workers who’ve been laid off as smooth as possible. Manitoba Premier Brian Pallister, has said the Denver-based company is trying to leverage money out of the province on the backs of ordinary workers.
