Alberta continues to strengthen its position as one of Canada’s leading transportation and logistics markets.

The province has the third largest general freight trucking industry in the country, with projected annual growth expected through 2031.

That growth is supported by workforce development programs, post-secondary training, and a strong transportation network that continues to support industry demand. For Canada's Western Gateway region, this creates opportunity for businesses looking to access skilled labour, expand logistics operations, and invest in a region built to move goods efficiently.

Location matters. So does connectivity.

Southern Alberta offers the infrastructure, workforce, and market access businesses need to grow and compete.

This region benefits from rail and highway connectivity, access to Alberta's only 24/7 commercial border crossing, established warehousing and customs brokerage services, and a strong pipeline of talent through local post-secondary institutions and workforce development programs.

For investors, manufacturers, and logistics operators, these advantages create a business environment built for growth.

Canada's Western Gateway is helping showcase the opportunities that make Southern Alberta a strategic place to invest, expand, and move goods efficiently.

More than 2,400 trucks move through the Coutts border crossing in our region every day.

As Alberta’s only 24/7 commercial border crossing, Coutts plays a critical role in connecting Canadian businesses to markets across North America.

For manufacturers, processors, distributors, and logistics companies, access to reliable transportation infrastructure is essential to staying competitive.

This level of daily movement highlights the importance of Southern Alberta's trade and logistics corridor and the opportunities it creates for businesses looking to grow.
