The Sunbelt Region is located right along Highway 75 that leads to Winnipeg. Manitoba is located at the northern end of the mid-continental trade corridor, as well as at the major junction in Canada’s east-west transportation system. These factors place the province in a strong position in terms of expanding trade and transportation links.
The Sunbelt is less than 100 km from Winnipeg, which is served by intercontinental railway systems that operate inter-modal terminals in Winnipeg, handling over 85,000 containers per year. The extensive and modern rail car marshalling facilities handle over 5,000 rail cars per day. These facilities and an international airport offer substantial flexibility and cost savings to business, with ready access to the U.S. market through three separate railway lines from Winnipeg.
The Sunbelt’s proximity to Winnipeg and its location along side the US/Canada border lets it take full advantage of the Mid-Continent Trade Corridor. With an abundance of industrial space, a proven entrepreneurial spirit, and access to capital, the Sunbelt is a perfect location to take advantage of North American trade.
