Proximity to Markets

Alberta benefits from a central location that allows easy access to the growing western Canadian marketplace and the US Pacific Northwest; a market of over 50 million consumers. This access gives Alberta companies less than 24-hour delivery service to this market region. That is why Alberta has become the western North American warehouse and distribution hub for Canada and the Pacific Northwest region of the United States.

International markets, particularly the Pacific Rim is also easily accessed through the excellent inter-modal system linking Alberta to the port of Vancouver.
