Community Investment

The Vopak Pacific Canada will contribute to long-term economic stability in the region and provide local employment opportunities. It will do this through:

• Diversifying product and economic activity at the Port of Prince Rupert.
• Providing access for Canadian products to markets around the world.
• A local-first procurement strategy to increase the potential for local Indigenous and community businesses to participate in the Project.
• Providing skills training and employment opportunities to local First Nations.

The Project will make several types of payments to governments of all levels directly, and there will also be revenues flowing to governments from indirect and induced economic activity associated with the Project. 

• There will be a total of $141 million of revenues flowing to the federal government associated with the Project, excluding corporate income taxes. 
• There will be a total of $137 million in revenues flowing to the BC and other provincial and territorial governments associated with the Project, excluding corporate income taxes. 
• Local governments will receive payments for the use of lands, but also other revenue associated with indirect and induced economic activity associated with the Project.
