We've had a fantastic experience with the Canada Infrastructure Bank. When my husband and I decided to take on this gnarly project of trying to return passenger rail to Banff National Park, we knew that the number one thing we had to do was work with them to try to provide the funding to build a dedicated track. We knew at that time, and it has been confirmed, that it was going to be over a billion dollars.
The Canada Infrastructure Bank had been in business five days when we flew across the country to meet with them. They didn't have business cards. They had a few light bulbs in the ceiling, and that was it. They really embraced our vision of moving to the small, two-modal green transportation hub; train travel would be part of it.
I'm going to be really straight. The relationship we've had with them has been outstanding. They've worked with us every step of the way through our project. They have signed an MOU with the Province of Alberta to further consider passenger rail and we are extremely optimistic that our dream of having passenger rail return in Alberta will come to fruition.
