“We commend Viterra for its steady and substantial investments across its asset network, including its new facility at Biggar,” says Joan Hardy, CP’s Vice-President Sales and Marketing, Grain and Fertilizers. “As industry partners, Viterra and CP are focused on strengthening Canada’s agriculture supply chain through targeted infrastructure investments. This project is the latest example of our commitment to Canadian farmers, and moving their crops in a timely and efficient manner.”
Construction on the new facility will begin immediately and is slated for completion in early 2022.
