The eighteen are part of a group taking part in the Northern Pacific Gateway Trade and Investment Forum held in Prince George this week, a session designed to increase awareness of transportation initiatives in the Northern Corridor.
Monday was a day trip to Rupert, learning more about the current operations of the Fairview Container Terminal and what the future may hold with Phase Two and beyond.
