BRANDON, Manitoba -- June 6, 2016 -- Manitoulin Transport has opened a newly built transportation terminal in Brandon, Manitoba, it announced today. This is the second new terminal Manitoulin has launched in that province within the last seven months, as it continues to gear up for further growth in that region.
"Our customers are our top priority and we continue to anticipate their future needs and make strategic investments accordingly," said Jeff King, president, Manitoulin Transport in a press release. "Brandon is situated in the very heart of North America. Building out our capacity here with a larger terminal not only delivers end-to-end coverage for us in Manitoba, it positions Manitoulin firmly as one of the largest and most capable providers of transportation and logistics services in Canada."
The new terminal located at 1865 1st Street North, Brandon, has 50 percent more dock space than Manitoulin's former Brandon terminal and includes an office and a 5.5 acre yard. This larger facility increases Manitoulin's ability to provide reliable freight services and handle higher shipment volumes in a safe and organized manner, with even greater speed and accuracy.
To ensure that shipments are well guarded, Manitoulin has fortified its premises with advanced security measures including perimeter fencing, controlled entry and exit and 24-hour surveillance cameras on the dock and yard. In keeping with Manitoulin's commitment to reduce its carbon footprint, the new terminal will be equipped with all-electric forklifts.
"Our investment in the Brandon community goes beyond bricks and mortar," said King. "In addition to the new terminal, we have a team of service professionals in and around Brandon ready to support customers near and far, plus a newly hired sales representative dedicated to Brandon and the surrounding areas."

"Manitoulin has the company values, terminal network, equipment, technology, and the unstoppable commitment required to be the partner of choice for businesses of all sizes and in all industries, be they in Brandon or anywhere in the world."

AMERICAN AIRLINES CARGO TRANSPORTS 10,000 FLAGS FOR MEMORIAL DAY EVENT
FORT WORTH, Texas – This past weekend, American Airlines Cargo partnered with the nonprofit organization Operation Honor our Heroes to respectfully transport 10,000 American flags for a Memorial Day event in Washington D.C. This 2,312-pound shipment donated by American included one flag for every 120 service members who lost their lives in the line of duty. The flags, along with personalized memorial cards, were displayed near the National Mall in D.C.
“The cargo personnel of American Airlines ensured the flags for the fallen were transferred with dignity and honor,” said Nancy Glass, founder of Operation Honor our Heroes. “Personnel were extremely courteous and helpful and made a very difficult mission seamless and efficient. The overwhelming, emotional response of the public at the National Mall for the display reinforced our commitment and dedication to honoring our nation's fallen heroes. We will NEVER forget.”
American’s Honor Team, dedicated to the safe and respectful transport of fallen soldiers and memorial artifacts, was present for the transport of these flags in Dallas-Fort Worth (DFW) as they were carefully loaded onto a Boeing 757 destined for Washington Reagan (DCA). Following the loading of the flags, the flight’s captain made a well-received in-flight announcement, introducing the important cargo onboard. “A team of DFW Cargo and Ramp professionals went above and beyond to ensure this shipment was handled with extreme care and closely monitored, transferred and loaded onto each flight.” said Don Larney, general manager, Cargo Operations – DFW. “We’re extremely proud to play a role in the transport of such a symbolic, momentous shipment.”
Glass founded Operation Honor our Heroes in 2007 in honor of Lt. Lonnie Alston, who was killed in action in France in 1944, and Master Sgt. Bob Horrigan, a member of the United States Delta Force, who was killed in action in Al Qaim, Iraq in 2005. All of the funds that the organization raises are awarded to wounded veterans and their families.
The flags will be returned to Austin (AUS) from DCA, via DFW this week, to be used for future occasions nationwide.

Agility Launches 2nd Annual Modern Africa Photo Competition
DUBAI – June 1, 2016 – Agility, a global leader in integrated logistics, today launched its Africa 2016 Photo Competition, an effort to inspire and showcase images that illustrate the breathtaking pace of change across modern Africa.
The annual contest, now in its second year, is the first pan-Africa photography competition to focus on Africa’s rapid modernization. It is open to professional and amateur photographers alike.
The competition (www.africa-2016.com) seeks to highlight the progress and development on a continent of contrasts, documenting an Africa booming with youthful consumers, new technology, urbanizing populations and promising economic prospects.
“Africa’s modern spirit and rapid evolution are obvious to those of us doing business there every day,” says Geoffrey White, CEO of Agility Africa. “It’s important for the rest of the world to recognize the drive, ambition and creativity powering development across the continent. The Africa 2016 Photo Competition is one way we can bring attention to it.”
The competition will take place from June 1 to Sept. 1, 2016. Agility will award a US$2,000 cash prize to the winner of each of three categories: cities, industry and technology. A further US$2,000 grand cash prize will go to the photographer who shoots the overall winning image, deemed to best illustrate development and growth across Africa; giving photographers a chance to win up to $4,000.
The winning photographs will be shown on a CNBC Africa telecast and published in Forbes Africa and be featured in Agility social media, promotions and advertising.
The competition will be judged by an independent panel consisting of Sneha Shah, Managing Director, Thomson Reuters Africa; Bronwyn Nielsen, Executive Director of the Africa Business News Group and Editor-in-Chief of CNBC Africa; and Salim Amin, photographer, filmmaker and chairman of Africa 24 Media and Camerapix.
The Africa 2015 Photo Competition drew 700 entries submitted by photographers in 33 countries. Winning entries were dramatic images that captured the capital city of Luanda, Angola; wheat fields in Kenya; and a child holding a smart phone in Uganda.
“Across our Africa business, we’re seeing the impact infrastructure improvements and technology are making in African life,” White says. “The contest is an engaging way for us to try to reflect the modernization we see, from sustainable farming to manufacturing to energy production. Our hope is that perceptions of Africa will become more balanced, and people elsewhere will come to see Africa as an increasingly significant contributor to the world economy.”
Agility is investing in Africa and is committed to building new logistics capacity and infrastructure to support the development of global and SME businesses across the continent. The company’s strategy also includes a strong social and environmental program, focused on education, training and health.
