Yves Desjardins-Siciliano VIA Rail speaking in Peterborough

The President & CEO of Via Rail spoke at a Chamber luncheon. He went through in detail of a proposal that will be going to the federal government by the end of the month. Part of that proposal is to create a new passenger line service from Toronto to Montreal through Peterborough and Ottawa. The work of the Shining Waters Railway group was an instrumental part of including the Toronto - Havelock portion of the line in the proposal. The goal of VIA Rail is to see this proposal included in the 2017 Federal Budget. They note that this plan fits with several government pillars including addressing climate change and innovation.
