June 9, 2016 – The concept of a northern corridor, one that would link transportation and energy resources from coast to coast to coast, is moving ahead thanks to a preliminary report on the concept.
According to a CBC news report, the corridor would link current pipelines, railways, roadways with newly-built infrastructure that would stretch north to the Arctic Ocean and Hudson’s Bay, as well as east through northern regions of Ontario, Quebec and Labrador.
