Construction Underway — Opening 2026

Built in 1893, the Bourget Train Station has always been more than a building — it's been the heart of this community. After decades of sitting quiet, we're bringing it back.

This carefully restored heritage building will blend its historic charm with modern purpose: a cozy café, bike rentals and repairs, flexible co-working spaces, and a welcoming venue for events and celebrations.

The station sits on the 77km Prescott-Russell Recreational Trail — now connected to the Trans Canada Trail — and will serve as the trail's first major destination facility.

Our History

Over 130 Years of History

From railway hub to beloved landmark — the Bourget Train Station has been woven into the fabric of this community for more than a century.

1893

The Station Opens

Built as part of the Canadian Pacific Railway line between Ottawa and Montréal, the station quickly became the community's heartbeat — the primary departure point for travellers and the main hub for regional commerce.

1970s

Railway Operations Cease

Canadian Pacific Railway ended service on the line. The station fell quiet but remained standing — cared for by station master Maurice Robillard and his family.

2013

Entrusted to the Community

Following the passing of Maurice Robillard, his family entrusted the building to the City of Clarence-Rockland — ensuring it would remain part of the community it had always served.

2026

A New Chapter Begins

Construction is underway. The Bourget Train Station is coming back to life — and it's going to be worth the wait.
