												  IBI Group Ottawa LRT Release 10-07-19 FINALMedia Contact: Julia Harper, IBI Group [email protected] 416-596-1930 ext. 61187 or 647-330-4706 - For immediate release - IBI Group-Designed Confederation Line LRT Downtown Tunnel Opens to Public – Global design and technology firm designs underground segment of Ottawa’s largest infrastructure project – TORONTO, ON (October 7, 2019) – Global design and technology firm, IBI Group (TSX:IBG), completed the station design of the downtown tunnel portion of Ottawa’s Confederation Line – a 13-station, 12.5km light rail transit line with a 2.5km underground segment beneath the city center – which is now open to the public. As part of the Rideau Transit Group consortium, IBI Group led the design of the three underground stations – Lyon, Parliament and Rideau – creating iconic facilities that offer spacious and elegant designs with convenient passenger flow systems. This $2.1B, world-class transit system represents the largest infrastructure project in Ottawa’s history and is set to transform how people travel throughout the nation’s capital. “One of the challenges of designing underground transit stations is establishing a design that doesn’t feel like it’s underground. We wanted to create a lot of transparency within the station, focusing on a neutral palette to help bring more light into the space,” said IBI Group Transit Architecture Director, Charlie Hoang. “You also won’t see a lot of obstructions throughout our stations. When going down to platform level you will see a nice wide path to the concourse, then the stairwells, escalators and elevators. Our main goal is always to try to open that up if possible.” The IBI design team selected a neutral material palette, consisting of white, cream and light grey tones accented with stainless steel and glass to help bring more light into the space.

												  Local Railway Items from Area PapersLocal Railway Items from Area Papers - Beachburg subdivision 19/01/1894 Renfrew Mercury Beachburg From an item in the District News this week, it will be seen that it is now proposed to bring a railway from Pembroke to Renfrew by way of Beachburg and Foresters' Falls: in order to connect with the several railways already centering here. The scheme is being gone into with some vim, evidently, and between the natural desire of Pembroke to get a line competing with the C.P.R., and the very probably willingness of the O.A. & P.S. to have all possible feeders for their traffic, - it is quite possible that the new project will get beyond the charter stage. It must be remembered, too, that a road following the route suggested would pass through just that section og Ross or Horton where the proposed line from Pontiac county would srike after crossing the Ottawa river; and if a combination of forces could be effected, one track would do for both roads for some miles before entering Renfrew, with consequent saving of construction expenses. Some such scheme as this may yet evolve; and if Renfrewites see a chance to put in a helping word or hand at any time it would be good policy to say the word or do the deed. With the best of wishes for the prosperity of every town arouns - still, let all roads lead to Renfrew. 23/08/1906 The Equity, Shawville Beachburg The engineers of the C.N. railway are now engaged in preliminary survey work on the proposed line along the front of this county-- the staff was at Bristol Corners last week.

												  Canadian Rail No156 1964c;an..adian.. )~~fin Number 156 / June 1964 :Belf£il, June 29, 1864. mlRECISELY one hundred years ago this month, on June 29th, g 1864, a special passenger train on the Grand Trunk Rail- way of Canada, carrying three hundred and fifty German immigrants, went through an open drawbridge at the village of Beloeil, Que., thus precipitating Canada's worst railway accident. Ninety seven immigrants, the conductor and the locomotive fire man and, two days later, a curious onlooker, succumbed, carrying the death toll up to an even one hundred. The passengers had come from Europe on the salling vessel "Neckar", disembarked at Quebec, and were ferried to Levis where they were loaded on the ill-fated train. which consisted of two baggage cars, seven cars normally used for produce but tem porarily fitted up for passengers, a second-class coach and a brake van. The train was pulled by the 4-4-0 locomotiv .. "HAM", No. 168 of the G. T. R .. a product of the works of D.C.Gunn at Hamilton. Special trains had depleted the supply of engine- and train-crew at Richmond, the intermediate divisional point between Levis and Montreal, and the locomotive foreman persuaded Will iam Burney, a newly-promoted engine driver. to take the train to Montreal, even though he had never operated a locomotive over the section. Conductor. fireman and brakeman completed the crew. Approaching the Richelieu River bridge between St. Hilaire and Beloeil at about 1 :15 AM, the train failed to make a mandat ory stop at the east end of the bridge, provided for in the Company rules.
