The SouthGrow region is an international cross-road for several modes of transportation:
Ground
The SouthGrow region is located on the CANAMEX Trade Corridor. This Corridor spans 6,000 km from Alaska to Mexico. Alberta’s only 24-hour border crossing at Coutts links Alberta’s export highway (Highway 4) with the interstate road system in the United States. Highway 3, as part of Canada’s National Highway System is the east-west route for both trade and travel. Highway 5 connects communities in the region to Waterton National Park to the southwest.
Rail
The area is served by Canadian Pacific Railway, which has siding locations throughout the SouthGrow region. Through its spurline system, Canadian Pacific Railway also provides access to many independent locations throughout the region. The region has rail access in both the East West as well as North South directions.
Air
The region is greatly benefited by the presence of the Lethbridge County Airport, acting as a key point for people, goods and services. The airport is served by Air Canada (www.aircanada.ca) and IntegraAir (www.integraair.com). Charter flights are also available. Itinerant aircraft customs clearance is available from Canada Customs via CANPASS. The airport can accommodate full jet traffic as the runways are maintained as emergency alternate for Calgary International Airport.
