Canada's Jasper National Park, part of the Canadian Rocky Mountains Park UNESCO World Heritage Site, is celebrating its 100th anniversary and VIA Rail is going along for the ride. In recognition of this milestone, VIA's flagship Canadian will be dubbed "The Centennial Train" for two departures on September 13th and 16th. With a number of on-board activities planned, customers travelling on these two trains will have an opportunity to be a part of the centennial festivities. Beginning with VIA's westbound train No. 1 from Edmonton to Jasper on September 13th and ending with eastbound train No. 2 on September 16th from Jasper to Edmonton, travellers will have an opportunity to learn more about Canada's fifth National Park from a Parks Canada representative.
