“Together, we are making history. The acquisition of this strategic asset will drive economic growth, create opportunities and strengthen our nations’ self-determination. I can only imagine how proud our Tahltan and Nisga’a ancestors would be of our Nations, TNDC, and Arrow working together to build prosperity in unison for our people and region.”

"The Nisga’a Nation is excited to be partnering with the Tahltan Nation Development Corporation and Arrow Transportation Systems Inc. to acquire Stewart Bulk Terminals and consolidate Arrow’s transportation business. This partnership represents an opportunity for the Nisga’a Nation to be involved in efficiently operating and expanding an integral piece of infrastructure in our Territory in a way that is environmentally responsible. Thank you to BC for your contributions to economic reconciliation and honouring our participation in this strategic investment.”

“Arrow is honoured to work with the Tahltan Nation and the Nisga’a Nation on this strategic venture. By consolidating the port terminal and our regional trucking operations, we are creating a vertically integrated supply chain that improves efficiency, enhances safety, and creates long-term, high-quality jobs for all employees. This project reflects our shared commitment to working with Indigenous communities as equal stakeholders, building capacity, advancing economic reconciliation and unlocking generational opportunities. We are proud to be part of this legacy investment in regional prosperity, one that will deliver lasting value and strengthen Northwestern British Columbia’s position in the global resource economy.”

“Through this partnership, TNDC on behalf of the Tahltan Nation is securing greater control over our mineral resources, another crucial step for our journey towards economic sovereignty, sustainable development, and a legacy of prosperity for future Tahltans.”

“Generations of Tahltans have expressed their desire for our Nation to have greater control over the resources within our Territory. This partnership marks another significant step in that direction.”

“The acquisition of the Port of Stewart Bulk Terminal and the creation of a transportation business is more than infrastructure — it is a gateway to global markets, improved logistics, and economic growth for the Tahltan and Nisga’a Nations, our partners, and Canada as a whole. This joint venture builds on our alliance with the Nisga’a and Arrow and reflects a shared commitment to regional development and strategic collaboration.”

“The Port in Stewart is an important hub that will support the dramatic expansion in critical minerals and metals production, coming from our work with First Nations and major mining companies in the Northwest. This joint venture is a great example of what can be achieved when you see an opportunity and work to make it a reality. We are proud to support this partnership – it furthers reconciliation and creates good jobs for people while demonstrating how British Columbia will become Canada’s new economic engine.”

“Our government is proud to provide financial support to this smart, strategic investment in the infrastructure that underpins long-term economic growth. It is not just about moving resources – it’s about strengthening our export capacity, supporting industrial development in the northwest, and unlocking the region’s full potential. This contribution advances reconciliation through meaningful economic inclusion and partnership and helps position BC as a key player in the global critical minerals market.”

“At Newmont, we believe in creating enduring value not only through mining gold and copper but also by facilitating community prosperity. Our commitment to the Port of Stewart goes way beyond exporting minerals; it involves empowering our First Nation partners in owning the infrastructure that will define the region.”
