APAS Signals Its Approval Of Rail Modernization Act

 
APAS is applauding approval of the new Rail Modernization Act in the House of Commons, however the bill still needs senate passage.
 
APAS president Todd Lewis says the legislation paves the way for a more efficient and accountable rail transportation system.
 
“The railroads will be judged on their performance,” Lewis said. “Hopefully a penalty system will improve service, but sometimes that’s what is needed.”
 
Lewis is already concerned about backed up grain movement on CN rail.

Video: EP 73 Diversity is Resiliency – Stories of Regeneration Part 6

During the growing season of 2023 as summer turned into fall, the Rural Routes to Climate Solutions podcast and Regeneration Canada were on the final leg of the Stories of Regeneration tour. After covering most of the Prairies and most of central and eastern Canada in the summer, our months-long journey came to an end in Canada’s two most western provinces around harvest time.

This next phase of our journey brought us to Cawston, British Columbia, acclaimed as the Organic Farming Capital of Canada. At Snowy Mountain Farms, managed by Aaron Goddard and his family, you will find a 12-acre farm that boasts over 70 varieties of fruits such as cherries, apricots, peaches, plums, pears, apples, and quince. Aaron employs regenerative agriculture practices to cultivate and sustain living soils, which are essential for producing fruit that is not only delicious but also rich in nutrients.
