Dear Members and Associates
We are pleased to invite you to join the event organized in collaboration with the Mount Royal University (AB) and Miller Thomson LLP (Vancouver) "The Northwest Passage as an Emerging Logistics Corridor" .
The Northwest Passage is emerging as a transportation corridor with significant growth potential. Canada stands among the few nations globally possessing territorial ownership of this strategic route, which provides notable benefits. Given current geopolitical uncertainties, these advantages may position the Northwest Passage as a comparatively secure alternative to conventional shipping routes.
Join us in a discussion regarding the opportunities and business benefits arising from these developments.
WHEN: April 27th, 2026 from 9AM PST
in online format
Registration for this event is mandatory. Link for joining the session will be sent to all registered participants one day before the event
