Data Points

Port of Vancouver and the approval for its expansion. Canada's federal government has approved an expansion plan for the Port of Vancouver's Roberts Bank Terminal that would double its current size, despite warnings from environmental groups that the project could have damaging effects on endangered species, including southern resident killer whales and chinook salmon. The expansion is aimed at preventing future backlogs and would increase the port's annual capacity by 2.4 million containers. However, the area is a crucial habitat for several endangered species already on the brink of extinction. The environment minister has pledged to put 370 legally binding conditions in place to protect the environment and ensure the strict environmental conditions are met.
