The Lake Shippers' Clearance Association is a non-incorporated mutual association that operates as a clearance house for grain documents, somewhat on the principle of a bank clearing house. It was established in 1909 to co-ordinate shipping at Thunder Bay and direct ships to the various terminals, and its members are many of those companies that are actively involved in shipments of grain out of that port.

La Lake Shippers'Clearance Association est une société coopérative non constituée qui fait fonction de chambre de compensation pour les titres de grain; son fonctionnement ressemble un peu à celui d'une chambre de compensation bancaire. Fondée en 1909 pour coordonner les expéditions dans le port de Thunder Bay et pour diriger les bateaux vers les divers silos portuaires, l'Association réunit une bonne partie des compagnies d'expédition qui opèrent dans ce port.
