Please note that due to the anticipated tropical storm conditions and coastal flooding over portions of Atlantic Canada this weekend, delays are expected at our terminals in New Brunswick and Nova Scotia.

As per CN:
Effective from 0700 on Saturday, September 16, 2023, CN Rail will suspend all regular scheduled service in the Moncton and Halifax areas. Service will remain suspended until at least 1400 on Sunday, September 17, 2023. The resumption will depend on the impact and duration of the storm. We will be monitoring the conditions through the weekend and will resume business as soon as safe operating conditions return. 

We will continue to provide updates as they become available to us, but you can also remain up to date by visiting the Canadian Hurricane Centre

Please note that delays may be possible due to continued forest fire activity throughout BC.

As per CN:

-Train operations have been suspended west of Ashcroft and Kamloops, BC until further notice.
-All the trains have been cancelled at Vancouver and Kamloops, BC.
-Service will resume gradually as conditions in the area stabilize.

We will continue to monitor the situation and provide updates as they become available.

Please note that the required repairs have been completed, and all affected tracks have been reopened. Deliveries within NS should anticipate an additional 24-48 hour delay as track congestion and backlog are cleared. We will continue to monitor the situation closely and provide updates as they become available.

Please note that delays of 48-72 hours may be possible for deliveries in Nova Scotia, due to torrential downpours that have caused flooding in certain areas. We are working diligently to mitigate delays with an established detour plan, and will continue to monitor the situation closely, and provide updates as they become available.

As wildfires continue in Halifax, shipment delays are likely due to the volume of smoke in the city. We appreciate your patience as we prioritize the safety of the community and our team. We will continue to monitor this situation closely and provide updates as they become available. 

Please note that delays into and out of Halifax may be possible due to the state of emergency that has been declared as a result of the wildfires. We will continue to monitor this situation closely, and provide updates as they become available. 

Please note that delays into and out of BC may be possible due to the highway closures as a result of the wildfires in Edson, AB. We will continue to monitor this situation closely, and provide updates as they become available.

Please note that delays into PEI may be possible due to the closure of the Confederation Bridge to high sided vehicles. We will continue to monitor the situation and provide any updates as they become available.
