Port-connected, rail-linked, export-ready
Chaleur offers one of Atlantic Canada’s clearest paths from resource to market. With a regional airport, deep water seaport, and rail access, road connections, industrial land, and proximity to natural resources, the region is built for operations that need to process, move, and export efficiently.
This is not only a logistics story. It is an industrial platform for companies that need infrastructure, workforce, and export capability in one place.
The Collège communautaire du Nouveau-Brunswick (CCNB) completes this ecosystem by providing training and professional development opportunities for workers, thereby ensuring a qualified workforce adapted to the needs of businesses.
The Chaleur Region offers industrial lands and buildings at affordable prices, creating an environment conducive to the establishment and growth of businesses. The region also boasts an abundance of natural resources, such as forestry products, minerals, peat, highbush blueberries, potatoes, maple syrup, crabs, and seafood, creating business opportunities in various sectors.
With its expertise in modular fabrication, mining, and forestry products, and thanks to a workforce qualified for international markets, the Chaleur Region is a global leader in several industries.
The region’s qualified technical workforce has expertise in the construction, operation, and maintenance of industrial infrastructure, thereby supporting the growth of industry. Warehouses and industrial facilities are also available, which help reduce investment costs for businesses.
On the energy front, the region has the potential to produce natural gas and generate wind power and solar power. A solid water and wastewater treatment facility also supports industrial activities.
The Chaleur Region benefits from an efficient transportation network, thanks to road access to the major Canadian markets and its proximity to the American market, which is less than a day’s drive away. Its rail services and port facilities also offer flexible transportation options for businesses.
