York-Durham Heritage Railway
Description
The YDHR is a heritage non-profit passenger railway and museum serving the communities of Uxbridge and Stouffville, Ontario, Canada The YDHR operates regular excursions on weekends between June through October and visits with Santa in late November and early December. We are entirely non-profit and rely on passenger fares and donations to preserve and operate our equipment. We are a non-profit charity and can grant donation receipts for tax purposes. Email info@ydhr.ca for more information. Volunteers are always welcome to join our group of hard working people; we have a project for almost any interest. High School students are welcome to volunteer to meet their community volunteer hours to graduate.
