A new study prepared by CPCS on behalf of Alto confirms that Canada’s proposed high-speed rail service is set to significantly increase tourism across the corridor – driving significant economic activity and supporting thousands of jobs.

The Alto high-speed rail project will bring people across the corridor closer together, connecting communities and territories that have deep-rooted ties to the history, culture, and presence of Indigenous Peoples.

The report summarizes feedback gathered during the first phase of a comprehensive 100-day public consultation process, as well as through Indigenous consultation activities that were conducted from October 2025 through June 2026 across the Toronto–Québec City Corridor.
