Terminals
Connected Globally
In Western Canada, the country’s prime growing region, Richardson moves western Canadian grains and oilseeds to customers around the world through its ports in British Columbia. Richardson’s North Vancouver terminal is one of the world’s most efficient port terminals. Richardson also has a 25 per cent ownership share in Cascadia terminal in Vancouver and is a partner in Prince Rupert Grain. These terminals are the three largest volume grain terminals in Canada.
In Eastern Canada, Richardson is focused on grain handling and merchandising, serving growers in Ontario and Québec through its port terminal elevators in Hamilton, Ontario, Thunder-Bay, Ontario and Sorel, Québec.

THUNDER BAY TERMINALS
HAMILTON PORT TERMINAL
SOREL-TRACY TERMINAL
Richardson’s two terminals in Thunder Bay are some of Canada’s top handlers of durum wheat, feed peas and oats. The terminals are the furthest inland port terminals connecting Western Canada to the Atlantic Ocean and remain major hubs for shipping to the U.S., Mexico and South America.
Our port terminal in Hamilton, completed in 1998, is a favoured link for Ontario wheat, corn and soybeans and provides excellent access to both the Atlantic and U.S. markets.
Located on the St. Lawrence Seaway, our terminal in Sorel-Tracy is instrumental in developing new markets for locally grown crops such as corn and soybeans. The terminal transships grain from Western Canada.
