We’re making great progress!
The historic 1906 Grand Trunk Railway Station is being restored and managed by the non-profit FOFS volunteers — and no one is paid.* Funding has been mostly from private and corporate sources, and your donations are 100% tax-deductible. To date, approximately 6,000 hours of volunteer labour have been logged as our carpenters, painters, engineers, electricians, historians, and sidewalk superintendents have contributed to the project. Please visit our “Events,” “FAQ’s,” and “History” pages, above.
