The spirit and the purpose of Nova Scotia’s Strait of Canso Superport Corporation Limited is summed up in these words: Promoting and accommodating marine operations in the Strait of Canso for the benefit of the area’s economy.
As Strait Superport CEO Tim Gilfoy explains, the non-profit organization was established in the late 1990s in response to Transport Canada’s divestment of public port facilities. In 2000, the Strait Superport took ownership of the Mulgrave Marine Terminal and the Port Hawkesbury Pier.
“I think the rationale for our organization was very much to see what we could do with the physical assets here and grow them to create more jobs for the area,” he says. Since 2002-03, Gilfoy says activity at the two facilities has pretty much doubled.
