Connecting Manitoba with VIA Rail’s Vision for 2030
Mario Péloquin, President and CEO of VIA Rail, has been an advocate for public transportation and passenger rail throughout his career. Under his leadership, VIA Rail is embarking on an ambitious modernization journey, including a new reservation system and the replacement of its long-distance, regional, and remote fleet across the country.
Looking ahead, VIA Rail's transformation will have significant impacts on Manitoba, particularly the Winnipeg and Churchill lines. This evolution promises to boost the Manitoba economy and enhance tourism opportunities, reinforcing VIA Rail's commitment to regional development.
Join us to discover how VIA Rail's 2030 vision will shape the future of rail services in Manitoba and contribute to the province's growth and connectivity.
