Climate Change and the Adaptation Planning of Inland Port and Rail Infrastructures in the Province of Manitoba in Canada Climate Change and the Adaptation Planning of Inland Port and Rail Infrastructures in the Province of Manitoba in Canada —Tianni Wang, Spenser Samsom, Dr. Adolf K.Y. Ng, Dr. Paul Earl Presented by Tianni Wang Dept. of Supply Chain Management, University of Manitoba Presentation Contents 1. Introduction 2. Research Process and Methodology 3. CentrePort Canada 4. Hudson Bay Railway 5. Discussion and Recommendation 6. Conclusion Introduction Ø The Province of Manitoba in Canada • Centre of North America & important transportation system • General climate tendency: warmer and wetter winters, together with longer, drier and hotter summers (Kyoto and Beyond, 2001) • Uncertain prediction: dramatic and frequent climate change (e.g., flooding and melting permafrost) and extreme weather (e.g., storms, tornadoes and hurricanes) Introduction Ø The Port Supply Chain—CentrePort Canada & the Hudson Bay Railway • Risks (flooding) and uncertainties (the extreme weather events) on CentrePort • A double-edged sword: threats (e.g., melting permafrost) and opportunities (e.g., longer shipping season) on Hudson Bay Railway • Strategic Adaptation planning for climate change is necessary and significant Research Process and Methodology Ø Qualitative Research Method • Two in-depth case studies on CentrePort (an inland terminal) and the Hudson Bay Railway • Seven semi-structured, in-depth interviews: five face-to-face and two telephone interviews • A within-case analysis and cross-case analysis (Miles and Huberman,1984; Yin, 2003 ) • A diverse data source: interview data and archival data for triangulation The potential impacts of climate change in Manitoba (Source: Government of Manitoba, 2014 maps.com） CentrePort Canada Ø Risk—flooding in Manitoba (1800s, 1950, 1997, 2009 and 2011) • Highway 75 closure, SC disruption • Manitoba government placed huge investment in flood control, e.g., Red River Floodway (Manitoba government website, 2013) • Forecasting (e.g., by Hydrological Forecast Centre) and strong emergency management system (EMO and MIT) • Dilemmas include predicting difficulties, long- term returns CentrePort Canada Ø Uncertainties • More extreme events impact port operation (e.g., tornadoes, heavy storms, extreme cold events)(Manitoba Government website, 2014) • Variable ecological condition increases the severity of flooding risks • Significantly less snow cover affects port’s business • Indirect impacts from other jurisdictions in the SC CentrePort Canada Ø Current plans • Tomorrow now: Manitoba’s green plan • CentrePort and government: No specific adaptation plans for climate change Ø Adaptation planning • Necessary:meet demand of port’s five-year plan & sustainable development of whole society • Good resources:funding and infra assistances from government and cooperating entities, academic research and discussions Hudson Bay Railway Ø Climate change: A double-edged sword • Opportunities: longer shipping seasons and access to previously impassable waterways (Northwest Passage)(Bello, 2014)—hard to achieve due to insurance restrictions • Challenges: permanently frozen peatland becomes unstable and permafrost becomes active with temperature rise (Weather Underground, 2014) Hudson Bay Railway Ø Resulting Impacts • Unstable railway: Recent derailments caused supply chain interruptions and delayed shipments to Northern communities • Unreliable railway: Slower travel speed is required due to uneven and heaving track Hudson Bay Railway Ø Current plans • OmniTRAX and Provincial and Federal Governments:invested $110 million and $40 million in recent track upgrades • OmniTRAX and the Churchill Gateway Development Corp:no formal adaptation plans for climate change Ø Adaptation plan—two basic solutions • Remove the peatland that makes up the layer of permafrost—expensive & impractical • Lift the track and laying an insulating bed of gravel (Bello, 2014)—might reduce negative impacts Discussion and Recommendation Ø Common Issues • Most pressing issue: financial constraint (a negotiation between the public and private sector on who pays for reducing risks in what percentage) • Lacking institutional guidelines • How could high-level knowledge be downscaled into corporate plans and businesses? • How to reduce the trade-offs among different stakeholders and maximize benefits of them? • How to achieve high public participation? Discussion and Recommendation Ø Recommendation: a five-part approach • Increasing awareness and understanding of the impacts of climate change & making specific guidelines • Promoting transparency and openness in sharing information • Balancing and prioritizing the trade-offs in SC • Drawing adaptation plans of similar inland ports • Realizing all-parties’ involvement in decision- making process Conclusion Climate change impacts and adaptation in Manitoba—two in-depth case studies CentrePort Canada Hudson Bay Railway Risks and uncertainties & threats and opportunities Flooding, extreme weather, less snow recover, Thawing permanently frozen peatland, indirect impacts from SC active permafrost in summer SC interruption, impacts on port operation and Longer shipping season, new pathway, unstable and economy unreliable railway Adaptation planning for climate change Hudson Bay Railway: lifting the track and laying CentrePort Canada: necessary with good resources an insulting bed of gravel Common issues: finance, guidelines, knowledge,trade-offs, public participation Recommendation: a five-part approach References • Bello (2014).

    CONFIDENTIAL BUSINESS CASE: REDUCING DIRECT SUPPORT TO BUSINESS Manitoba Fiscal Performance Review Phase 2 Report Business Case – Reducing Direct Support to Business CONFIDENTIAL Notice This Phase 2 report (the “Report”) by KPMG LLP (“KPMG”) is provided to The Province of Manitoba’s Treasury Board represented by the Minister of Finance (“Manitoba”) pursuant to the consulting service agreement dated July 14, 2016 to conduct an independent fiscal performance review (the “Review”) of Core Government spending (except the Department of Health) for Manitoba. If this Report is received by anyone other than Manitoba, the recipient is placed on notice that the attached Report has been prepared solely for Manitoba for its own internal use and this Report and its contents may not be shared with or disclosed to anyone by the recipient without the express written consent of KPMG and Manitoba. KPMG does not accept any liability or responsibility to any third party who may use or place reliance on our Report. Our scope was limited to a review and observations over a relatively short timeframe. The intention of the Report is to develop business cases for select areas of opportunity. The procedures we performed were limited in nature and extent, and those procedures will not necessarily disclose all matters about departmental functions, policies and operations, or reveal errors in the underlying information. Our procedures consisted of inquiry, observation, comparison and analysis of Manitoba-provided information. In addition, we considered leading practices. Readers are cautioned that the potential cost improvements outlined in this Report are order of magnitude estimates only. Actual results achieved as a result of implementing opportunities are dependent upon Manitoba and department actions and variations may be material.

  • END of an ERA Roger Gibbins Retires After 14 Years at the Helm of the Canada West Foundation
    WINDOW ON THE 2012 MAY WEST www.cwf.ca western canadian policy matters END OF AN ERA Roger Gibbins retires after 14 years at the helm of the Canada West Foundation > Unlocking Manitoba’s Transportation Gateway > Reflections on a Dynamic and Prosperous West > Natural Gas as a Transportation Fuel A Strong West in a Strong Canada The Canada West Foundation is the only think tank dedicated to being the objective voice for public policy issues of vital concern to western Canadians. Sometimes these issues are unique to the West, but more often they resonate right across Canada. We are resolutely nonpartisan. We let the research do the talking rather than rely on predetermined positions. Our goals are straightforward: better government policy; a prosperous West in a prosperous Canada; fair treatment of all regions in the federation; and a strong democracy based on open debate and meaningful citizen engagement. Over the past 40 years, our research and recommendations have advanced all four of these goals. We are a source of ideas and information. We are a facilitator of discussion and civic participation. We give the people of British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba a voice. A voice for their aspirations, interests and concerns. As westerners, we understand the people and the places of the West. We know our history and how it influences our future. Whether it is the economy, energy, environment, education, healthcare, taxes, social services, urban issues, intergovernmental relations or any other policy area of importance to the West, we have researched it, commented on it, stimulated debate about it and recommended practical options for improving the policy response—all from a uniquely western point of view.

  • Assessing the Attractiveness of Centreport Canada- a Canadian Inland Port From
    Assessing the Attractiveness of CentrePort Canada- A Canadian Inland Port from Manufacturers’ Perspective by Jiayue Xu A Thesis submitted to the Faculty of Graduate Studies of The University of Manitoba in partial fulfillment of the requirements of the degree of MASTER OF SCIENCE Department of Supply Chain Management I.H. Asper School of Business University of Manitoba Winnipeg Copyright © 2017 by Jiayue Xu Abstract The continuous growth of international trade and development of containerization bring about the emergence and development of inland ports- inland sites performing seaport functions that do not require waterways (also called dry ports). However, so far inland/dry port research has paid very limited attention to Canadian inland ports. CentrePort Canada, located in Winnipeg where manufacturing is the largest industry, is the first Canadian inland port with three transportation modes and foreign trade zone status and is endeavoring to attract more businesses especially in manufacturing. This thesis thus aims to investigate whether CentrePort Canada, especially the North part, is an attractive site for manufacturers to locate their businesses. Attractiveness is measured by matching CentrePort Canada features with the location factors considered by specific manufacturers. Eight case studies involving in-depth interviews are conducted to explore manufacturers’ perspectives on site selection factors and CentrePort Canada (North). Three groups of manufacturers are included: established companies located in CentrePort Canada South, new companies located in CentrePort Canada North, and established firms located elsewhere in Winnipeg. This thesis concludes that CentrePort Canada North is so far attractive to Winnipeg-based companies having plans to relocate within the city and outside manufacturers distributing to new markets.
