Grain Movement Improving

Grain movement has been improving over recent weeks.

Wade Sobkowich is the executive director with the Western Grain Elevator Association.

"Since the blockades ended, we've been going full force using as much capacity as we're provided by the railways, which has been good. Grain movements within the month of March have been high and we're pleased to see that. We've been able to bring down the grain vessels in Vancouver and Prince Rupert."

Sobkowich says penalties and demurrage costs at port have been decreasing as well.
