  • The new Ontario Line will span nearly 16 kilometers (9.9 miles) and add 15 new stations across the city, from Exhibition Place in the southwest to the Ontario Science Centre in the northeast.

  • The Scarborough Subway Extension will add three stops over 7.8 kilometers (4.8 miles) to bring the Toronto Transit Commission’s (TTC) existing Line 2 subway service even further into Scarborough.

  • The Eglinton Crosstown West Extension will add seven stops over 9.2 kilometers (5.7 miles) west of the Crosstown’s Mount Dennis Station.

  • The Yonge Street North Subway Extension will also bring the TTC’s existing Line 1 subway service to the cities of Vaughan, Markham, and Richmond Hill.

The Toronto Subways Program is another large-scale transit contract awarded to Stantec. The firm is serving as technical advisor on both the Ontario Line and the Hurontario LRT line.
