Canada’s Western Gateway is home to a dense ecosystem of logistics companies and is supported by a robust business support network – all set within a dense agrifood industrial region that is a constant source of work.  It can be described as a logistics cluster inside an agrifood cluster inside a booming agricultural and energy rich-region inside the most competitive province in Canada.

The Highway 4 Corridor is at the crossroads of trade.  Highway 3 bisects the region east to west, providing road and rail access to Vancouver and Seattle in one direction, and Chicago in the other.  Highway 36 is a high-load corridor that serves as the transportation corridor from the United States through to the oilsands in Northern Alberta.  The Canamex Highway provides access north to Calgary and Edmonton, and south to California, Texas, and Mexico.

“Southern Alberta is home to 70% of Canada’s irrigated farmland, moves Billions of dollars of commodities to market, and has a large industrial base to support this industry. All of this requires logistics and transportation to thrive.”​
– Trevor Lewington, Economic Development Lethbridge

Southern Alberta is an amazing place to call home. With a low cost of living in one of the highest quality-of-life jurisdictions in the world, and with access to some of the most stunning environments in North America.

Lethbridge East MLA Nathan Neudorf was kind enough to use his Members’ Statement earlier this week to promote Canada’s Western Gateway.
