The Asia-Pacific Gateway transportation network encompasses ports, rail, highways and intermodal facilities connecting western Canada with Asia-Pacific economies.

CIB’s recommendations for improving the capacity of the BC’s Lower Mainland, Prince Rupert and New Westminster Rail Bridge transportation networks will increase Canada’s competitiveness in terms of trade and commerce.

Benefits of CIB involvement
