The Government of Ontario announced construction of the new Confederation GO Station in Hamilton has been completed.
“Our government is investing in the largest transit expansion in North America to help families and workers get where they need to go, when they need to get there,” said Premier Doug Ford. “The opening of Confederation GO Station will be a game changer for residents in East Hamilton and Stoney Creek, while bringing much-needed relief to Burlington and West Harbour GO.”
Service at Confederation GO Station will begin October 27, 2025, with all existing trains to and from Niagara Falls stopping at the station. The new station features a fully accessible platform with canopies, bicycle racks, a pick-up/drop-off area and 148 parking spots.
“As Hamilton and Niagara continue to grow, our government is connecting families, commuters and businesses across the Greater Golden Horseshoe to transit they can rely on every day,” said Prabmeet Sarkaria, Minister of Transportation. “By opening Confederation GO Station with enhanced train service across the region, we’re making transit faster and easier, driving economic growth and protecting Ontario.”
Confederation GO Station is part of GO Transit’s Niagara Extension project, expanding GO train service to Hamilton and the Niagara Region, benefitting local commuters and visitors to one of Canada’s top tourist destinations.
“The opening of Confederation GO Station marks an important milestone — it’s the first new GO station to open in four years, with more stations soon to follow. These investments are part of a broader transformation across the region, with major construction also underway at key future hubs like East Harbour and Woodbine GO. With new stations and expanded rush hour GO rail service, we’re connecting people with faster, more reliable access to work, school and opportunity. People across our region rely on GO Transit every day to reliably connect them to the places that matter most — and these service enhancements make those journeys even easier,” said Michael Lindsay, president and CEO, Metrolinx.
