| Event Description |
This forum will focus on goods movement within gateway regions. Strategies to deal with the swelling volume of trade require "Smart Growth for Freight" to preserve quality of life in gateways even as they support efficient transportation and sustainable freight strategies among North America’s West Coast Gateways and also with our counterparts in Asian gateway regions.
The forum will also address the US-based Coalition's relationship with B.C., Yukon and western Provinces. Interest in closer ties is stimulated by proposals for an ALCAN freight railway and Alaska gas pipeline, as well as mineral resource development in the Canadian Northwest sought by China and other Asian nations. WCCC connections with BC and Yukon are of interest to the Coalition as essential to the geographic continuity of joint efforts on transportation issues along the entire West Coast of North America.
