Join the Edmonton Chamber of Commerce for a luncheon with the Honourable Steven MacKinnon, Minister of Transport and Leader of the Government in the House of Commons.

As global trade dynamics shift and Canada works to diversify its export markets, the federal government has made supply chain resilience and trade corridor modernization central to its economic agenda, backed by billions in new infrastructure investment, including the $5-billion Trade Diversification Corridors Fund and expanded port and rail capacity across the country.

Minister MacKinnon will speak to how these investments are shaping the future of freight, logistics, ports, and trade corridors, transportation networks, and what they mean for Western Canada. This conversation will explore the role our region plays in building a more competitive and connected national supply chain.

This is a timely opportunity for business leaders, logistics and transportation professionals, and anyone with a stake in how goods move across Canada and to the world.
