New Cargo Facility Boosts Supply Chain Infrastructure in Northern Canada
What happened
Canadian North opened a new cargo facility at Ottawa International Airport. This expansion, which received $11 million from the federal government’s National Trade Corridors Fund, increased the warehouse's general cargo capacity by 40 percent and nearly doubled its cold storage capacity. The facility supports destinations across Nunavut, Nunavik, and the Northwest Territories.

Why it matters
The facility is designed to improve the movement of essential goods, such as food and medical supplies, to remote northern communities. These improvements are part of broader efforts by the Government of Canada to strengthen northern supply chain infrastructure.
The Government of Canada is currently pushing northern projects and planning a military presence in Nunavik, which involves Inuit leadership.
