Emerson P.C Canada Transportation Act Review Secretariat 350 Albert Street, Suite 330 Ottawa, ON K1A 0N5 [email protected] RE: Grain Policy in Canada The Railway Association of Canada (RAC) is pleased to provide this submission to the Canada Transportation Act Review Chair, Advisors and supporting Secretariat. This submission is intended to inform the Chair’s position about grain policy in Canada, and to underline that market forces drive the development of Canada’s modern rail system. This submission has been filed on behalf of RAC’s freight railway members (Appendix A). This submission is supported by two documents which are appended for review: Appendix B - “Winter’s Impact on Railroad Operations: Fact and Fantasy” provides an overview of the negative impacts that Canadian winter has on railroad operations in Canada; and Appendix C - “Freedom in Western Grain Movement” presents an assessment of the effect of the Maximum Grain Revenue Entitlement provision on railway efficiency, growth, and productivity in the Grain Handling and Transportation System (GHTS). The RAC will file an additional submission before the consultation period ends this year. About the Railway Association of Canada RAC represents more than 50 freight and passenger railway companies that move 75 million people and $280 billion (B) worth of goods in Canada each year. As the voice of Canada’s railway industry, RAC advocates on behalf of its members and associate members to ensure that the rail sector remains safe, globally competitive and sustainable.

  • Activity Booklet / Teacher's Guide
    Train Safety Activity Booklet / Teacher’s Guide saskatchewan.ca Welcomel Most injuries and deaths related to railways are unnecessary because they are preventable. That is why the Saskatchewan Ministry of Highways and Infrastructure, in partnership with the Western Canadian Short Line Railway Association, produced this latest edition of the Train Safety Activity Book and companion Teacher's Guide. By having children work through the book's activities, the hope is this provincial safety initiative educates future generations about railway safety and prevents accidents. 1 Content: · Students will learn the importance of railway safety through various subject areas. Objectives: · Encourage safety around railways and trains. · Encourage awareness of dangers associated with railways and discourage unsafe activities around trains and railways property. Language Arts: · Students can create poems about train safety using the information gathered from the activity book. Students may recite their poems in small groups or in front of the class. • Students may look at the safety pictures in the activity book and write a short story about the characters in the pictures. Students must remember to keep the theme of safety in mind. Arts Education: · Students may create train safety posters addressing different safety issues. These posters can be displayed throughout the school. • In small groups, students can create a commercial/infomercial promoting train safety. These commercials/infomercials may be performed in front of our classroom peers or younger classes. Health: · Students can be given task cards containing issues regarding train safety. Students must work cooperatively and create a solution to these realistic issues. Computers: · The website below will provide students with information about trains.

  • Environmental Overview
    Vantage Pipeline Project Environmental and Socio-Economic Assessment Section 19: Cumulative Effects Assessment 19 CUMULATIVE EFFECTS ASSESSMENT 19.1 Introduction The purpose of this Cumulative Effects Assessment (CEA) is to identify, analyze and assess potential changes to biophysical and socio-economic environment that may be caused by the Vantage Pipeline Project (Project), in combination with the effects of other past, present and/or applied for future regulated projects and activities within a defined study area. This CEA is a summary of assessments from ESA discipline sections six to 18 of the ESA. Figures illustrating the location of other projects assessed are within each discipline section of the ESA. 19.2 Methodology Detailed methodology of the cumulative effects assessment can be found in Section 5. The methodology has been developed based on requirements of the National Energy Board Filing Manual (NEB 2009) and suggested methods for conducting cumulative effects assessment under the Canadian Environmental Assessment Act (CEAA) outlined in practitioners’ guides (Federal Environmental Assessment Review Office 1994a and 1994b; Hegmann et al. 1999). Professional practice also plays a role in CEAA methodology as situations may require adaptive approaches to specific aspects of a project. The cumulative effects assessment process contains the following steps: identification of potential residual effects; determination of spatial and temporal boundaries; identification of other past, present, and reasonably foreseeable future projects and activities (collectively referred to as “actions”); identification of potential cumulative effects; development of mitigation measures and strategies; analysis of the significance of the residual cumulative effects. Refer to Section 5.4 for additional information on the cumulative effects assessment methodology.

  • Initial Project Description – Summary Great Sandhills Railway
    INITIAL PROJECT GREAT SANDHILLS RAILWAY Great Sandhills Railway Switching Operation at North West Terminal Ltd. DESCRIPTION Summary Initial Project Description – Summary Great Sandhills Railway EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Great Sandhills Railway (GSR) is proposing the expansion of the North West Terminal (NWT) 1 kilometre east of Unity, Saskatchewan (SK). NWT is one of the largest grain handling facilities in Western Canada and is serviced by two Class 1 railways, the Canadian National Railway (CN) and the Canadian Pacific Railway (CP). The proposed project includes three loop tracks, two shop tracks, a wye track, and a repair shop. The new tracks will allow these Class 1 railways to enter and depart the yard without using their mainline to break up and consolidate the train. This reduces unnecessary congestion on the mainline. The tracks will also serve as an interchange between CP and CN, with the ability to interchange over 175 cars at one time, surge capacity for the Edmonton corridor, and an option to yard trains for mechanical inspection or repurposing, either by their own mechanical staff or by mechanical personnel at NWT. The Project is designed to solve the current configuration issue at NWT. Due to dated design and restrictive access, traffic originating from NWT creates between 4 and 16 hours of a backlog on CN’s mainline in both directions per week. Anticipated traffic volumes for the current users of NWT in the next five years would result in approximately 26 hours of delays per week along a critical export rail corridor. The proposed project includes three loop tracks, two shop tracks, a wye track, and a repair shop.
