At the Helm of an Urban, Sustainable, and Innovative Port – A Strategic Leadership Opportunity in the Blue Economy
The Port of Trois-Rivières is a strategic link in the supply chain of the St. Lawrence – Great Lakes corridor, making a significant contribution to the economic vitality of Mauricie, Quebec, and Canada. As a true engine of growth, it is at the core of a competitive logistics chain. Through a major transformation initiated in 2006, the Port has positioned itself as a world-class port operator, focusing on operational excellence, sustainable innovation, and extensive regional collaboration.
As its “On Course for 2030” strategic plan — launched in 2018 — moves forward, the Port of Trois-Rivières is preparing to enter a new phase under new leadership. A driver of economic growth, a catalyst for innovation, and a committed partner to its community and environment, the Port now represents a modern and responsible model of port operations. This mandate presents a unique opportunity for a visionary leader to directly influence the future of Canadian maritime trade, support the development of a dynamic territory, and contribute to the nation’s economic prosperity.
