Missinippi Rail Limited Partnership represents First Nations and Communities in Northern Manitoba.  It has a share in ownership of Arctic Gateway Group Limited Partnership which in turn owns Hudson Bay Railway and the Port of Churchill having acquired those businesses from OmniTrax at the end of last August.

The Missinippi Rail General Partner Board held their inaugural meeting last week and elected their officers.  Co-Chairs and Co-Presidents are Churchill Mayor Mike Spence and Onekanew Sinclair of Opaskwayak Cree Nation. Vice-President Councilor Shirley Castel from Mathias Colomb Cree Nation, Secretary Chief Glenn Hudson of Peguis First Nation and Treasurer Flin Flon Mayor Cal Huntley.

 Sinclair says they have shown that an entire region can unite to accept the economic opportunity and challenge to turn the Hudson Bay Rail Line and the Port of Churchill into a corridor of prosperity for Northern Canada.
