PORTS: An Integral Part
of Canada's Economy

Canada's Port Authorities handle over 280 million tonnes of freight annually, valued at more than $140 billion dollars.

The 17 Canada Port Authorities employ directly and indirectly more than 250,000 jobs in Canada.

Canada's major ports are key generators of economic activity across Canada and important links in global supply chains.
