Uwinnipeg,丘吉尔镇开始可持续发展项目

Project to develop a sustainability plan to meet Churchill’s growing needs as an international trade route and port

CHURCHILL, MB – Famous for its beluga whales, polar bears and port, Churchill, Manitoba is expected to become a major part of the emerging ‘Arctic bridge’, the shortest route between Canada and northern Europe. This new import/export route will help ensure the Town of Churchill remains a key international travel route.

To assist in meeting the upcoming needs and challenges of the Arctic bridge, The University of Winnipeg and the Town of Churchill today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). This MOU, signed today by University of Winnipeg President & Vice-Chancellor Lloyd Axworthy and Michael Spence, Mayor of Churchill, will help develop a sustainability plan for the community.
