Cornwall Council to Meet with Via Rail Representatives
Cornwall city council has invited Via Rail representatives to address the council regarding a pilot project that was put on hold due to backlash.
The council has joined a growing list of municipalities seeking to discuss service levels with Via Rail, and has agreed to advocate against potential cuts and operational changes.
- Council supported a resolution on October 14 to invite a Via Rail representative to address the council.
- Mayor Justin Towndale will initiate a meeting with the president and CEO of Via Rail.
"You would have been better off talking to a wall,"
said Claude McIntosh, recalling a previous meeting with Via Rail representatives, which he described as unproductive.
This meeting will be the second in seven years, according to McIntosh.
