Ep. 250: The Port of Vancouver's plan for the future

EconomyVancouver and British Columbia
Written By Stuart McNish

Guest: Duncan Wilson, Port of Vancouver

The Port of Vancouver says the plan to expand container traffic at Delta Port is unfolding in a manner that ensures the authority meets its mandates.

The port authority is charged with the safe, environmentally and financially sound management of one of the largest ports on the West Coast of North America.

And that brings us to this week’s Conversation. As outlined in a previous episode, one of the Port’s terminal operators says it is being shut out of the container site expansion and believes the Port of Vancouver is in a conflict of interest.

We invited Duncan Wilson of the Port of Vancouver to join us for a Conversation That Matters about the arduous process that has been underway for many years to determine how to meet the demand for container services in the future.
