The Town of Whitecourt relies heavily on rail services, and wouldn’t be the community it is today without it. That’s why Mayor Tom Pickard and the Town of Whitecourt are calling for action to see our rail services strengthened and supported for years to come.

This is what we’re advocating for. Learn more at railforward.ca

Picture this: you’re employed by a grain producer that relies on railcars to get its product to market. You head into work, but the railcar to transport the grain never arrived. Now what? 1/4
