Montreal, June 23, 2026 - Alto’s partner Cadence has launched a market engagement process for Canada’s high-speed rail network to present the proposed early procurement activities, anticipated work packages, and timelines for the first phase of construction between Ottawa and Montreal.

This marks a significant step in delivering a world-class transportation system for Canadians and signals the beginning of meaningful economic benefits and long-term opportunities for Canadian businesses.

Cadence invites local and international companies to learn more about the procurement process for the project. Businesses can engage directly with Cadence at upcoming information sessions in Toronto, Ottawa and Montreal this July. Expressions of interest will follow, inviting companies to formally indicate their interest in delivering the project’s most significant components.

These activities are designed to help industry prepare for and participate in the various formal procurement processes in 2026, 2027 and beyond.
