The United Counties of Prescott and
Russell (UCPR) are extending their agreement with VIA Rail Canada to
maintain the current lease of the Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail
until August 31, 2021.
This extension of the agreement will allow users to benefit from the
Trail during this summer while allowing stakeholders to continue their
negotiations.
“It is important for us to take the time necessary to ensure the best
possible outcome for all parties in this matter. Negotiations are
ongoing, and we are confident that we will reach an agreement in the
coming weeks,” adds Stéphane P. Parisien, Chief Administrative Officer
of the UCPR.
Negotiations will continue over the summer and the UCPR will share more information as it becomes available.
