About usThe Vancouver Fraser Port Authority is the federal agency responsible for the stewardship of the lands and waters that make up the Port of Vancouver, Canada’s largest port. Our mandate is to enable Canada’s trade through the Port of Vancouver, while protecting the environment and considering local communities. Trade through the Port of Vancouver connects Canadian businesses and consumers with the variety of products that we use every day from markets across the globe, and generates tax revenues and secure employment for local communities.

Environmental protectionOur vision is for the Port of Vancouver to be the world’s most sustainable port. We work with the port community, scientists, governments and Indigenous groups to develop and run programs that help protect the air, lands and waters in and around the Port of Vancouver. Did you know that for almost 30 years, we’ve been creating and restoring shoreline habitat to help maintain a balance between a healthy environment and port activities?
