Georgetown and Kitchener was completed in 2024, including:
a 2.6 km passing track in Breslau; a new second platform
at Guelph Central GO Station; and the new storage track for
maintenance vehicles west of Guelph.
PORT
Port of Montreal
Contrecoeur Terminal
$950 MILLION
In September 2025, the Montreal Port Authority (MPA) and DP World in Canada (a joint
venture between DP World and La Caisse) entered into a Joint Development Agreement for
the design of the land-based works of the future container terminal. Under the agreement,
the MPA and DP World’s Canadian operations will finalize the terminal’s design as well as the
terms of the construction and operating contract, which will take effect with the start of land
works. The Contrecœur expansion project is based on a hybrid approach, with in-water works
are overseen by the MPA and have been planned in collaboration with CTCGP, using a collaborative design-build approach. Land works and operations will be under the responsibility of
DP World, which will lead the construction of the terminal (container yard, buildings, utilities,
and rail connection) and ensure its operation and maintenance for the next 40 years.

REMEDIATION
Giant Mine
Remediation Project
$934 MILLION
Between 1948 and 2004, operations at the Giant Mine site grew to encompass roughly 900 hectares,
including several ponds and small lakes. In 1999, the former operator entered receivership and the Government of Canada, and the Government of Northwest Territories became responsible for the site. Mining operations continued until 2004. Several environmental and site remediation needs were identified. This included
cleaning up the 237,000 tonnes of arsenic trioxide dust left behind in underground chambers and 16 million
tonnes of tailings, open pits, debris, and site infrastructure. Today, the project’s goals are to: minimize public
health and safety risks; minimize the release of contaminants from the site to the surrounding environment;
remediate the site in a manner that instills public confidence; and implement a remediation approach that
is cost-effective and robust.
