Local faith leaders have issued a moral imperative for local jobs, equitable access to jobs and social inclusion for the proposed QC Passenger Rail Project.We believe that how the QC Passenger Rail Project is crafted and administered should reflect our moral concern that all in our community should benefit from this project?especially those living in poverty and are often at a disadvantage to gain access to this great economic development opportunity. Join us as we pray for our community to seek innovative ways to seek the common good where all will benefit in from this project.
