High-Speed VIA Rail Train

Addressing Province-wide Homelessness

Your local Chamber of Commerce has been calling for a return of a passenger rail service to Peterborough since 2013. On February 19, 2025, the Prime Minister announced that Canada is developing a high-speed rail network in the Toronto-Quebec City corridor. This rail network will connect Peterborough through the Toronto-Quebec City corridor and put Peterborough on the map as a destination of choice to travel and explore!
