## Description

Attawapiskat on James Bay in northern Ontario is a fly-in Cree community with no year-round road, which makes its gravel-strip airport the settlement's only reliable link to the outside. That gives a small field genuine freight relevance: food, building materials, medicines and spare parts arrive as belly or charter loads on regional turboprops, supplemented by heavy hauls over the winter road and summer barge deliveries. Forwarders consolidate at Timmins (YTS) or Moosonee, while customs and import formalities are handled further south, usually via Toronto Pearson (YYZ).
