US EditionCanada Supreme Court turns away bid to halt new CN intermodal terminal project
- On May 8, 2025, the Supreme Court of Canada rejected an application seeking to block the construction of CN’s $250 million rail-and-truck hub in Milton, Ontario, allowing the project to move forward.
- The appeal sought to halt the project due to concerns raised by Halton Region, its four municipalities, and the Conservation Authority, including environmental and health risks.
- The project aims to double CN’s existing rail tracks and create a container transfer hub handling four trains and up to 1,600 truck trips daily near a growing residential area.
- A unanimous three-judge panel ruled last October that federal approval was reasonable despite “significant adverse environmental effects,” while the project includes 325 conditions to protect health and environment.
- Although legal options narrow, local officials and residents continue opposing the project, citing ongoing health and economic concerns and calling for political accountability and re-examination.
