The map of Canada shows the geographical locations of the CPA infrastructure and provides information on the total tonnes handled by each port in 2020. Each port is represented on the map by a blue circle and is graduated in size proportional to the total tonnes handled. The highest total tonnes handled in 2020 was 145.5 million tonnes by Vancouver Fraser Port Authority.

An insert at the top right of the map shows the Great Lakes/St. Lawrence Seaway System (represented by an orange line). This system provides a strategic waterway into the North American Heartland and Overseas markets.

The map of Canada shows the NAS airports as well as the amount of enplaned/deplaned revenue passengers for each airport. Each airport is identified geographically by an orange circle that also provides information on the enplaned/deplaned revenue passengers in 2020; the larger the circle the higher the number of enplaned/deplaned revenue passengers at this airport.
