Transportation is the key to prosperity, mobility and sustainability in Northern Canada.

The 6^th Supply Chain Connections Conference will take a close look at transportation requirements and alternatives for moving goods and people to and from Northern places. Air, rail, road and water transportation are all involved in meeting the needs of northern communities and shippers, including the retail and resource sectors. While the conference will have a Prairies-Territories focus, we are interested in northern transport routes across Canada.
