UNITING KEY TRANSPORTATION AND SUPPLY CHAIN STAKEHOLDERS
For 50 years, WESTAC has been Western Canada’s premier transportation forum. It is the only one that unites business, labour and government in discussions, debate and resolution of challenges impacting gateways, corridors and supply chains. It also provides a neutral and non-partisan forum for promoting and protecting the critical economic role played by transportation and the movement of goods across Western Canada.
“In our role enabling trade through Canada's largest port, we collaborate closely with government, industry and other port stakeholders to prepare the port and gateway supply chains to meet the needs of Canada's growing trade through the West Coast. Our focus is on advancing supply chain visibility to improve efficiency and delivering infrastructure to increase overall capacity. We are proud to be a sustaining member of WESTAC, and we value the organization's important work to foster collaboration and the exchange of ideas and expertise to support a strong future for Canada's transportation sector.” —Robin Silvester, President and CEO, Port of Vancouver
