MANAGEMENT APPROACH & GOVERNANCE

The Saint John Port Authority, doing business as Port Saint John, is a non-shareholder, financially self-sufficient corporation established by the Government of Canada on May 1, 1999, under the Canada Marine Act, and accountable to the Federal Minister of Transport.

Port Saint John is governed by a board of directors consisting of seven members who set the strategic direction; approve policies, budgets, and major capital works; and set goals for corporate performance to guide the President & CEO and his team.

Our board of directors reflects not just our business interests but our organization’s values. We strive to ensure diverse representation.
