The Port of Churchill is operational. Canada's only deepwater Arctic seaport, owned entirely by 29 First Nations and 12 northern Manitoba communities, has shipped critical minerals to European markets for two consecutive shipping seasons.

Chris Avery, President and CEO of the Arctic Gateway Group, joins Mark Magnacca and Rob Brant on Drumbeats to set out the commercial case for European institutional capital.

In this episode:

• Over $250 million in federal and provincial funding through the Port of Churchill Plus initiative is clearing the path for private capital entry
• A formal cooperation agreement with the Port of Antwerp-Bruges anchors Churchill's European trade pathway
• Direct rail connection to the North American Class One network, the only Arctic seaport with that integration
