CN announced plans to invest approximately $600m CAD in Ontario, as part of its 2025 capital investment program. This investment will support track maintenance and strategic infrastructure initiatives in the province. This includes projects that continue to invest in technology as well as ongoing multi-year projects that will build capacity and support growth across the network. These projects will help ensure the safe movement of goods and support long-term sustainable growth in Ontario and across CN’s network.

“We believe that investing in our network is about building for the future. Our continued infrastructure investment in Ontario will help strengthen the resiliency, and efficiency of our network across the province. Our focus remains on providing exceptional service to our customers and supply chain partners, supporting strong economic growth for North America and across the communities where we operate.”

“CN is a key partner in strengthening Ontario’s economy and supply chains. Our government is building a more connected, competitive province by investing in infrastructure that reduces gridlock and supports long-term growth. We welcome CN’s continued investment into Ontario, a commitment that will help goods move more efficiently, create good-paying jobs, and build a stronger future for communities across the province.”
