advertisement

VIA Rail Canada Inc. has marked the completion of the $4.2 million Panorama Lounge revitalization project at Toronto’s Union Station. The lounge upgrade is part of a larger $640 million program to rehabilitate the station.

The 2,000-square-foot lounge sports more than twice the capacity of the previous lounge and features modern amenities, such as wireless fidelity, a business center and beverage service area. The new upgrades were completed while retaining the original architectural and design elements of the historic station.

The Canadian government is contributing $164 million toward the Union Station revitalization project and the province of Ontario, $172 million. The city of Toronto is funding the remaining $304 million.
