According to McLennan, he pitched his idea to the Canada Council for the Arts back in December in hopes of putting the project in motion. When he learned in March that the council approved his grant, he began planning for his expedition that began last month. The grant is allowing McLennan to research, plan and make a journey on south-north trains in Canada off the main line to see how the country looks and feels some 50-plus years later as a Canadian who grew up in the 60s and 70s. [...] The first portion of McLennan’s project titled “My Canada Train Journey” took him north and east in Ontario and Quebec.
