Smiths Falls wants to be part of the vision for High Frequency Rail.
VIA Rail’s project to connect Toronto to Quebec City with fast and consistent service was first proposed in 2016, and a procrument proces was launched in 2022 by the federal government to explore the idea further.
Smiths Falls wants to be a stop along the way, as Mayor Shawn Pankow explains way.
They sent a letter of support of the project while requesting a rail station be placed in Smiths Falls.
