Arctic Gateway Group has received up to $147.6 Million through a federal-provincial partnership to support national interests in Northern Manitoba

The rail line is essential for supply chains, local food security, regional connectivity and its unique community-ownership model represents ongoing steps toward economic reconciliation in Canada.

The Government of Canada will invest up to an additional $60 million on top of its existing support of the Arctic Gateway Group, and the Manitoba government will invest up to $73.8 million.
