CRAA feeling “optimistic” after meeting with CN rail

Aug 22, 2023 | 3:02 PM

A meeting was held today (Tuesday, August 22) between the Community Rail Advocacy Alliance (CRAA) and CN Rail representatives to discuss ongoing concerns in the rail services sector, across northern Alberta.

Since January 2023, CRAA has been advocating for government and railway providers to address key issues specific to northern Alberta, which include:

• Sufficient seasonal service
• Consistent capacity levels
• Evenly deployed resources

Following the meeting, involving 25 CRAA members, and regional and national representatives from CN rail, CRAA said in a release, “(They) left the conversation feeling optimistic, and motivated to address longstanding issues regarding rail reliability for communities, businesses, and key industries throughout Northern Alberta, including forestry and agriculture.”

The organization went on to add it will continue to “identify future opportunities for collaboration with rail partners and advance the priorities of Northern Alberta to provincial and federal decision-makers.”
