On Track St. Thomas has successfully secured the MCR bridge over Kettle Creek
along with some four kilometres of associated rail corridor to Lyle Road on June
17th 2013. The group invited founders, media and interested municipal
officials to join them under the bridge on June 20th for the official announcement. On Track president, Matt Janes, thanked those involved in helping to achieve this important first step. Find some photos & press

On Track wants to preserve the 1929 Michigan Central
railway bridge over Kettle Creek and transform it into Canada's first elevated park.

Over the next few months, On Track will continue its fundraising efforts with a view to achieving the full $250,000 target set at the beginning of the campaign. A special fund has been created within the Elgin-St. Thomas Community Foundation which allows all donations to receive a charitable tax receipt.
