Chatham Wants In on High Speed Rail in Ontario

Chatham-Kent's mayor is seeking more information after a recent announcement concerning high-speed rail made no mention of the municipality. Randy Hope said once he learned of the plans concerning the next phase of the project, he sent a message to the premier's office for further details. “Number one, I agree with high-speed rail. Number two, I don't agree that it's not stopping in Chatham-Kent,” he told The Daily News on Friday. “You're going to get more value, more returns … if you're looking at centres like Chatham. It's not all about the GTA, London and Windsor.” On Friday, London municipal officials and MPP Deb Matthews were on hand as Minister of Transportation Steven Del Duca announced the next steps for the rail line, which will eventually link Windsor, London, Kitchener-Waterloo and Toronto.
