Vancouver Island is ‘on the map’ for international trade and export. Our Foreign Trade Zone designation (FTZVI) has increased global awareness of Vancouver Island as a source of export products and as a destination for foreign direct investment. And EDC has recently opened an office in Victoria.
Mr. Hall’s presentation will focus on global trade and emerging prospects for Vancouver Island exports.
