"The Tsimshian Access Project is a crucial infrastructure project to Prince Rupert and the Northern Corridor of the Asia Pacific Gateway. It will allow us to reach our full potential as an international transportation link. By increasing the accessibility to our airport we will have an opportunity to provide air cargo services for user of our Port that require an expedited alternative for their products. It will also provide road access to the First Nations communities of Metlakatla and Lax Kw’alaams, effectively reducing the barriers to First Nations participation in the new Port economy by providing easier access to meaningful employment opportunities."
