Quotes
“I encourage all children and youth in the National Capital Region to submit a train name! The chance to name one of the 40 Confederation Line trains is a great way for future riders and the larger community to make a connection with this world-class transit system that will move riders more quickly and efficiently.”
David McGuinty, Member of Parliament for Ottawa South, on behalf of the Honourable Amarjeet Sohi, Minister of Infrastructure and Communities
“This is a very exciting time for the City of Ottawa. When the O-Train Confederation Line opens it will help manage congestion, curb emissions and improve travel for people across this region. We want to make sure that neighbourhoods in and around the Ottawa region can thrive and prosper through better and more efficient transit infrastructure that gets people to where they need to go faster and easier.”
Steven Del Duca, Minister of Transportation
“Our LRT trains are a significant part of Ottawa’s legacy, and belong to the future generations they will serve. Our young residents will grow up riding these trains, whether it’s to go to school or to their first job, and we are proud to give them the opportunity to be involved in this transformative infrastructure project.”
Mayor Jim Watson, City of Ottawa
“Naming trains is a tradition that goes back to the beginning of railways. It gives trains an identity and a little bit of personality. It gives us a way to connect with them as they become an important part of the city in which we live.”
Councillor Stephen Blais, Chair, Transit Commission
“We’re delighted to offer the children and youth of Ottawa this exciting chance to get involved in their future LRT system. I am looking forward to seeing the successful names from our creative kids as we get Ready for Rail.”
Councillor Keith Egli, Chair, Transportation Committee
