Message from the Board

2006-2009 a necessary period of positioning. Since March 2006 the Port of Dalhousie Inc., formerly under the authority of Transport Canada, has been run by a not-for-profit corporation sponsored by our group of longshoremen. It is with a feeling of ownership and the desire to be a key player in the development of regional businesses that our group accepted this challenge. With the emergence of a growing number of exporting and importing businesses, our new port authority feels that we have what we need to position the Port of Dalhousie as a key player in regional economic development in marine transportation in the Atlantic region. 2006-2009 will be an important period of positioning. Many projects are under study and we are optimistic that 2009 will be the cornerstone of long-term prosperity for the port authority of Dalhousie and its partners.
