The Beachburg Railway Project is a once-in-a-generation chance to solve Canada’s biggest challenges — housing, transit, affordability, and productivity — all at once.

An Old Railway.

A New Way to Build.

Here it is.

A 35 Kilometre Stretch of Endless Opportunity.

Along this underused railway exists a bold new future for Canada. Rapidly building new communities on empty government lands is smart. Doing it with scalable, modular, Canadian-made mass timber is smarter. The BBR isn't just practical, it's possible ─ and the stars are currently aligning.
