Regina’s Global Transportation Hub (http://www.thegth.com/) was launched in February of 2011. The 1700 acre property is owned and operated by the province of Saskatchewan. Canada’s Federal Government has provided funds for the road network.
According to Blair Wagar, its chief operating officer, it was developed to achieve several objectives:
- 1.Try to improve transportation and logistics in Saskatchewan;
- 2.Bring shippers and carriers together at one location;
- 3.Help companies drive cost out of their supply chains.
Mr. Wagar pointed out that Loblaw Companies and CP Rail are the two founding tenants. Loblaw’s, one of Canada’s premier food retailers, is occupying a million foot warehouse and is using the Global Transportation Hub (GTH) as it key gateway to western Canada.
