We are again seeing the need for VIA Rail to adapt to the reality of Canadians; who they are, where they live and what they believe in. We are at a time where the older generation is looking for a safe, comfortable and accessible mode of transportation, where professionals and entrepreneurs are looking for a convenient and timely way to bring them from home to the city centers and back, and where the young generation is looking for a more sustainable mode of transportation. VIA Rail wants and can be all of this

  • Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism Introduction Historiography
    ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. Page 1 of 22 Transcontinental Railways and Canadian Nationalism A.A. den Otter ©2001 Chinook Multimedia Inc. All rights reserved. Unauthorized duplication or distribution is strictly prohibited. Introduction The Canadian Pacific Railway (CPR) has always been a symbol of Canada's nation-building experience. Poets, musicians, politicians, historians, and writers have lauded the railway as one of the country's greatest achievements. Indeed, the transcontinental railway was a remarkable accomplishment: its managers, engineers, and workers overcame incredible obstacles to throw the iron track across seemingly impenetrable bogs and forests, expansive prairies, and nearly impassable mountains. The cost in money, human energy, and lives was enormous. Completed in 1885, the CPR was one of the most important instruments by which fledgling Canada realized a vision implicit in the Confederation agreement of 1867-the building of a nation from sea to sea. In the fulfilment of this dream, the CPR, and subsequently the Canadian Northern and Grand Trunk systems, allowed the easy interchange of people, ideas, and goods across a vast continent; they permitted the settlement of the Western interior and the Pacific coast; and they facilitated the integration of Atlantic Canada with the nation's heartland. In sum, by expediting commercial, political, and cultural intercourse among Canada's diverse regions, the transcontinentals in general, and the CPR in particular, strengthened the nation. Historiography The first scholarly historical analysis of the Canadian Pacific Railway was Harold Innis's A History of the Canadian Pacific Railway. In his daunting account of contracts, passenger traffic, freight rates, and profits, he drew some sweeping conclusions.

Modern day executive committees and their near equivalents can trace their roots back to a political institution – the Board of Control at the beginning of the last century and to the then lingering effects of the American Reform Movement on the politics and administration of local governments. The Reform Movement emphasized efficiency in local government by promoting non-partisanship, at large elections and especially administrative professionalism, which in turn meant a large reliance on professional expertise in the provision of services. This strengthening of the municipal bureaucracy raised the questions of political control and accountability. Council members felt inadequate in developing policy in the face of the expertise of the administrators. To counterbalance the latter, the reformers proposed the creation of a political body – the Board of Control. It was meant to be a political collective mechanism and had specific legislative and executive functions.

    <:;an..adi J~mnn Number 162 / Janua r y 1965 Cereal box coupons and soap package enclosures do not general­ ly excite much enthusiasm from the editor of 'Canadian Rail', but we must admit we are looking forward with some eagerness to comp­ leting our collection of RAILWAY MUGS currently being distribut e d by the Quaker Oats Company, in their specially-marked packages of Quaker Oats. This series of twelve hot chocolate mugs depicts the develop - ment of the steam locomotive in Canada from the 0-6-0 "Samson", to the CPR 2-10-4 #8000. The mugs are being offered by the Quaker Oats Company of Cana­ da to salute Canada's Centennial, and the part played by the rail­ ways and their steam locomotives in furthering the pro ~ ress of the nation. Each cup pictures an authentic locomotive design -- one shows a Canadian Northern 2-8-0, a type of locomotive that made a major contribution to the country's prairie economy by moving grain from the Western provinces to the Lakehead -- another shows one of the Canadian Pacific's ubiquitous D-10 engines. There are 12 different locomotives in the series - each a col­ lector's item. The reproductions are precisely etched in decora­ tive colours and trimmed with 22k gold.

    01 0 _7 2 RAILSIDE AT THE FORKS - CONCEPT PLAN - SUMMARY 0 1 7 02 RAILSIDE AT THE FORKS This document provides a summary of the Railside at The Forks Concept Plan and its most salient components. For further details, please read the complete Concept Plan document available at www.railsideattheforks.com “THE FORKS SHALL BE DEVELOPED AS A ‘MEETING + PLACE,’ A SPECIAL AND DISTINCT, ALL-SEASON GATHERING AND RECREATIONAL PLACE AT THE JUNCTION OF THE RED AND ASSINIBOINE RIVERS, THROUGH A MIXED-USE APPROACH INCLUDING RECREATIONAL, HISTORICAL CULTURAL, RESIDENTIAL, INSTITUTIONAL AND SUPPORTIVE COMMERCIAL USES.” Excerpt from The Forks Renewal Corporation’s Mission Statement (1987) 03 INTRODUCTION The Railside at The Forks Concept Plan articulates the long-term vision, core principles and sustainability blueprint that will guide the development of the Railside lands over the next twenty years. All aspects of the Concept Plan are based on feedback from three successful phases of community consultation and collaborative input from the Forks Renewal Corporation’s (FRC) Federal, Provincial and Municipal shareholders. Citizen and stakeholder input has been central to the Railside planning process. FRC is committed to ongoing public engagement as plans for Railside at The Forks advance. 04 THE VISION Aligned with The Forks’ founding mandate of ‘creating a welcoming place’, the principal goal of the Railside at The Forks development is to establish a dynamic mixed-use neighbourhood that complements and builds on The Forks’ existing character and amenities. Envisioned as a model urban community that is seamlessly integrated into The Forks site, Railside at The Forks will support a diversity of housing types, showcase great public spaces, demonstrate design excellence, enhance connectivity with the broader City and adhere to The Forks Renewal Corporation’s ambitious sustainable development goals.
