2015 - Networking Tour of the Fraser with Metro Vancouver Chambers

Description

Join us for this special event with the Burnaby Board of Trade and Port Metro Vancouver in conjunction with Delta Chamber of Commerce, New Westminster Chamber of Commerce and Richmond Chamber of Commerce

As Canada?s largest port, Port Metro Vancouver enables the trade of nearly 20% of Canada?s total trade of goods by value. Join your fellow Metro Vancouver chamber members for a tour of the mighty Fraser River aboard an authentic paddlewheeler to learn more about the operations of Port Metro Vancouver to ensure safe and efficient trade of Canada?s import
and export goods.

Throughout the tour, guests will have an up-close view of Port Metro Vancouver?s major marine terminals operating in Fraser River, including the multi-purpose facility, Fraser Surrey Docks and Wallenius Wilhelmsen Logistics automobile terminal. Narration will be provided about the port?s business sectors and key infrastructure and landmarks along the way. You will also hear about the port?s air, land and water protection initiatives and how we continue to work as leaders in port sustainability.
