With direct access to the US and easy access to the Pacific Rim and Europe, Alberta is the leader in exports in Canada. In 2019, the province had the second-highest exports per capita at $26,772, significantly higher than the national average of $14,483.
Canada has free trade agreements with 51 foreign countries, covering a market of over 1.5 billion potential consumers with a combined GDP of $49.3 trillion USD. The Calgary International Airport (only 2 hours away from Lethbridge) is one of the fastest-growing cargo airports in Canada, with over 75% of Alberta’s air cargo shipments passing through it and providing access to the US market.
Southern Alberta is served by the two largest transcontinental freight transportation companies in Canada, Canadian Pacific Railway and Canadian National Railway, which operate about 7,000 route miles in the province and transport 66 million tonnes in and out of it. Alberta’s extensive rail network not only allows market access across North America but also to Asian markets via the Port of Vancouver and Port of Prince Rupert, Canada’s largest ports.
Alberta’s extensive network of pipelines, highways, and telecommunications infrastructure is attractive to businesses looking to operate on a global scale. In 2019, over $630 million was invested into the province’s communication networks.
