Canada’s Pacific Gateway, located in British Columbia, is positioned as North America's premier gateway for Asia-Pacific trade. With over 47,800 km of provincial highways and a comprehensive transportation network, it plays a vital role in facilitating economic growth. The sector contributes approximately $10.6 billion to the province's GDP, employing over 136,000 individuals. Key advantages include close proximity to Asia, integrated rail and maritime systems, and strategic partnerships. This initiative supports the movement of goods, enhances trade diversification, and bolsters BC's competitive edge.
