Recent Progress:

Tour Train Upgrade
Two major infrastructure developments are now underway for the Agawa Canyon Train Tour. With a $10-million joint investment from the provincial government and CN Rail, new coaches were purchased for the attraction in 2009. In June 2010, FedNor - Industry Canada announced a $1.02-investment to provide audio-visual enhancements to the train tour.

Waterfront and Downtown Development
With $5 million in government stimulus funding, the Waterfront Boardwalk is being extended. The development, which goes hand-in-hand with the establishment of the local Hub Trail, will provide an increased quality of life for residents while helping to attract visitors to the community.

Just over 30 years ago, there were oil tank farms on the edge of St. Mary's River.  Look at how far we've come.  It's a remarkable transformation and there's just as much potential ahead.
