MISSISSAUGA, Ontario, March 10, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Bird Construction Inc.

East Harbour station will be one of the most important nodes on the region’s transit map. It will connect the Ontario Line to an expanded GO network in a way that will completely re-shape how we move through Toronto and beyond,” said Michael Lindsay, Interim President and CEO, Metrolinx.

“Bird’s continued work on the East Harbour Transit Hub, one of the first major transit projects in Canada to use an alliance contracting model, leverages our extensive collaborative contracting experience, comprehensive self-perform capabilities, and expanding national Infrastructure presence,” said Teri McKibbon, President and CEO of Bird. “We look forward to our continued collaboration with Metrolinx and our other alliance team members and stakeholders to deliver this landmark infrastructure project that will improve the quality of life for the Greater Toronto community for years to come.”
