Premier Wab Kinew is finalizing the list, which could include Manitoba mines, silica sand projects, and a massive greenhouse. The summit, taking place in Toronto from September 14-15, will feature private meetings between premier and investors. The Port of Churchill Plus, which could expand trade with markets such as Europe, is among the projects to be highlighted. Arctic Gateway Group, the Port of Churchill's owner, will attend the summit, though they won't be in premier Kinew's one-on-one meetings.
