What is Happening?

As part of work on the future Caledonia GO Station, Metrolinx crews will be working over two weekends to complete various construction activities, including drilling, electrical service installation, and caisson installations. These works will occur over the weekend on May 23-24, 2026, and May 30-31, 2026, between the hours of 7:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Activities will take place within the Barrie rail corridor during a weekend pause in service of the Barrie GO line. This will help ensure the safety of our crews, as they will be able to work on the track without trains in service.
