The Member of Parliament for Northumberland-Peterborough South knows where he’ll be Friday afternoon September 9.
Philip Lawrence will be taking part in the VIA Day of Action rally in Cobourg that day.
The rally is meant to persuade VIA Rail to reinstate Train 651 which, pre-pandemic, picked up passengers between Kingston and Toronto. VIA cancelled the route during COVID-19 lockdowns.
An online petition has been signed by thousands of people, including commuters in the Quinte region, demanding that VIA bring the train back.
The VIA Day of Action rally will be held September 9 at 2 o’clock at the VIA station in Cobourg.
