It was apparent that a desire for innovation and modernization at Northeastern Ontario Tourism existed. The opportunities for our partners, to take on new responsibilities, and demonstrate an importance to the local economy and community. Many of these goals were reached, and we’ve even eclipsed a few in 2017/18. As Executive Director, the day-to-day operations of Northeastern Ontario Tourism are my responsibility.

  • Northern and Eastern Ontario Rail Network (NEORN) (Algoma Branch) Submission to Moving Ontario Forward Infrastructure Consultation
    September 17, 2015 Northern and Eastern Ontario Rail Network (NEORN) (Algoma branch) submission to Moving Ontario Forward Infrastructure Consultation What types of infrastructure projects could unlock tangible economic development opportunities in your communities? Upgrading the existing rail beds throughout Northern Ontario and reinstating passenger train service as it existed prior to the 1970s is essential to unlocking economic development opportunities in our communities. The rail beds are still in existence, but have substantially deteriorated with an increasing maintenance deficit, and the rail infrastructure is being used almost exclusively for only select freight. The only remaining passenger train service in Northeastern Ontario is from Cochrane to Moosonee, from Sault Ste. Marie to Hearst (pending engagement of a suitable third party operator) and from Sudbury to White River. Rail freight mostly supports only large freight customers thereby restricting economic opportunity. There is very limited passenger rail connectivity to Southern Ontario and the rest of the country except from Sudbury to Southern Ontario and The Canadian VIA service across the country. There is no connecting service from towns and communities to each other and to Sudbury (except White River and Chapleau) and therefore to Southern Ontario. Sudbury is a regional health care centre, but there is very limited passenger rail service to it. The rail beds need to be upgraded to the condition necessary for passenger service and for faster, more efficient and safer freight service. (Upgrading the CP line between the Sault and Sudbury was done over the last 5 years, but only to a minimum standard for freight rail, not adequate for passenger rail.) Intermodal services could be introduced from places like Sault Ste.
