High speed rail project between could spur local benefits

Kawartha Lakes council wants Alto, the Crown corporation building a high-speed rail line between Toronto and Quebec City, to ensure the project supports the needs of this city’s residents.

During council’s Nov. 4 committee of the whole meeting, Alexis Doyle, Alto’s manager of community relations for Ontario, presented an overview of the project that will bring high-speed rail to Canada’s most populated corridor. After Doyle’s presentation, council members pressed her on how the project would benefit Kawartha Lakes.
