The RTSRP Committee is right on track!
- Through a fully-funded educational project, a Brandon University student has developed a business plan for the restoration of the Rivers Train Station.
- Research is being made into the most effective and efficient alternative energy source for the station. The options that are being explored include solar, biodiesel, geo-thermal and wind.
- Committee members and volunteers have held numerous clean-up sessions at the station, preparing it for reconstruction and renovation. Looking good!
- The general foundation and structure of the building is in good shape. Steps have been taken to prevent further deterioration of the roof.
- VIA Rail Canada is working closely with the committee and community and is enthusiastic about the future partnership!
- Part of the “green” restoration plan for the roofing may include Enviroshakes® — superior shingle product composed primarily of reclaimed materials.
- The committee continues to work hard to promote and spread enthusiasm for the project.
All aboard!
