Supporting Canadian communities
We're building connections in the communities we serve that go beyond simply travelling to a destination. We’re working with and for Canadians to forge strong partnerships and to take action where it matters most to you. Since our inception, we’ve proudly carried on this tradition across the country.
VIA Rail proudly supports the Canadian military, veterans and their families through recruitment, travel offers and community events.

By inviting Katimavik Volunteers to travel with VIA Rail, we allowed them to discover the country and help them find their place as community leaders and agents of change.
