Sept 27 (Reuters) - Workers at six grain terminals in the Canadian port of Vancouver have reached a tentative deal, ending a strike potentially impacting exports from the world's top canola and number three wheat exporter during the harvesting period.

The Grain Workers Union and the Vancouver Terminal Elevators' Association reached the tentative agreement to get Canada's harvest to market, Labour Minister Steven MacKinnon posted on X on Friday.

The two sides had agreed to MacKinnon's request to resume negotiations alongside federal mediators after workers walked off the job on Tuesday when talks broke down amid a deadlock over benefits.
