Windsor Station built between 1888-1924 for Canadian Pacific Railway in Romanesque Revival Architecture.

Designated National Historic Site of Canada, 1975.

Instrumental in transporting thousands of immigrants in their journey as Canadian Citizens.  The railway along with Confederation was considered a national dream by the Canadian Government.  The passenger services were assumed by Via Rail in 1978.

CP Holiday Train runs during the Holiday Season, covers 50 stops in Canada and the United States.

In 2017, the CP Canada 150 Train travelled from Port Moody to Ottawa to celebrate ‘Canada’s 150 year of Confederation’.

The Angel of Victory ( French: L’Ange de la Victoire) is a statue installed in the hallway of Windsor, commissioned in 1922 in Memory of 1,116 (CPR) employees who died in WWI.

The statue was crafted by London-born Sculptor Coeur de Lion McCarthy (1881-1979).
