What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

CentrePort Canada is beginning a large expansion in Winnipeg as the federal government analyzes where to spend $1 billion on food hubs and terminals across Canada. CentrePort Canada aims to become a food, defence, and industrial hub during this period of expansion. The federal plan includes four food terminals and 20 to 40 smaller food hubs nationwide.
