Scope and Content

Letter sent to T. Hambley, Esquire in Sudbury, Ontario from the Superintendent on September 10, 1935

Context

The letter is a response referring to a previous letter sent on September 7, 1935 discussing the abandonment of the Canadian National Line between a point west of North Bay and Skead. The letter features the Superintendent's opinion on the matter. The Canadian Pacific Railway was founded in 1881. Part of Prime Minister Sir John A. Macdonald's dream of Canadian Confederation, the building a transcontinental railway was part of the agreement to get British Columbia to join Confederation. Construction began in 1881 and lasted well into the 1900s to build lines connecting Canada from Vancouver to Montreal.
