Ashcroft Terminal
Aschroft Terminal
$5 million
Investments at the Ashcroft Terminal such as constructing a new grade separation and relocating a road will enhance access to transload facilities for shippers.
The expansion of the terminal just outside of Ashcroft will facilitate railway access for shippers within the region. The project will provide more train capacity and will improve the movement of goods travelling between the West Coast and the Ontario/Quebec region.
The project will also help reduce the number of trucks in the Lower Mainland with the environmental benefit of reduced greenhouse gases.
Helping diversify the regional economy currently affected by the mountain pine beetle by providing transportation options for other local industries is also another key local benefit of this project.
The federal funding for this project comes from funds previously set aside under the Mountain Pine Beetle Program, which ended in March this year and is being delivered through the Asia-Pacific Gateway and Corridor Initiative.
All financial figures are anticipated federal contributions for projects, most of which are cost-shared with important contributions from partners, including British Columbia and other western provincial and municipal governments, ports and railways.
All projects are subject to funding commitments of all partners, completion of due diligence, contribution agreements and final federal project approval.
