CentrePort Canada

CentrePort Canada is a tri-modal dry port and Foreign Trade Zone located partly in northwest Winnipeg, Manitoba (CentrePort South) and partly in the Rural Municipality of Rosser (CentrePort North), and situated adjacent to the Winnipeg James Armstrong Richardson International Airport (YWG). With 20,000 acres (81 km²) of industrial land, it is one of the largest tri-modal inland ports and foreign trade zones in North America.

The port provides access to tri-modal transportation: rail—three Class I railways, specifically Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC), Canadian National (CN), and BNSF Railway; air—a 24/7 international air cargo airport; and road—an international trucking hub.

CentrePort Canada also offers greenfield investment opportunities for a wide variety of business operations, including distribution, warehousing, and manufacturing. The portion of the inland port that falls within Rosser has access to a Special Planning Area to streamline the land development approval process.

According to its website, CentrePort Canada Inc. "...is responsible for the planning and development of the site; business development and investment attraction; and, marketing and promotions efforts."

CentrePort Canada Way is a 10 km (6.2 mi) expressway that links Winnipeg's Inkster Boulevard to the Perimeter Highway, and allows companies to achieve the five minutes to 90 km/h (55 mph) goal for moving cargo. It serves as a hub for national and international trading corridors, as well as attracting new transportation logistics development to the city area. Moreover, Winnipeg has connections to both of Canada's only major Pacific ports, Port of Vancouver and the Port of Prince Rupert, as well as a direct connection to the Port of Churchill, the only Canadian deep-water Arctic port.
