Once operational, current travel times will be slashed in half – getting you from Montréal to Toronto in three hours.
The Toronto-Quebec City corridor is home to 18 million people, 40% of our GDP, over 700,000 students, and more than 30 colleges and universities. The federal government says this dynamic hub needs a transportation system that gets people from city to city, in the fastest time possible.
As Canada’s largest ever infrastructure project, the Feds say high-speed rail will turbocharge the Canadian economy – boosting GDP by up to $35 billion annually, creating over 51,000 good-paying jobs during construction, and unlocking enhanced productivity for decades to come.
Cadence has been selected to not only co-design and build, but also to finance, operate, and maintain this project. Cadence is a consortium of world-renowned companies with expertise and know-how in the design, development, and operation of large-scale transportation infrastructure.
This decision is the result of years of careful deliberations and de-risking, as well as meaningful investment from the Government of Canada.
