Petition Text
Petition to the Government of Canada
Whereas:
• The Trans-Canada Highway 11 is a critical corridor for the movement of goods, services, and people across provincial boundaries;
• The safety and reliability of the Trans-Canada Highway 11 is essential to support Canada’s economic stability, supply chain resilience, national security, and regional development;
• Highway 11 is often the site of fatal collisions between passenger vehicles and transportation trucks, presenting a significant safety risk to travellers in the region; and
• The Highway is subject to repeated closures due to accidents and truck incidents that completely cut off access to travel, creating serious safety risks for residents, travellers, and emergency services.
We, the undersigned, citizens and residents of Canada, call upon the Government of Canada to designate Trans-Canada Highway 11 as a Project of National Interest under the Building Canada Act. Highway 11 requires upgrades to protect the safety of all travellers and endure the reliable interprovincial movement of goods.
