The “On-to-the-Bay” Association was formed in 1924 to demand completion of the Hudson Bay Railway and Port of Churchill in the interests of the people of western Canada. On-to-the-Bay’s successor, the Hudson Bay Route Association (HBRA), continues to play a vital educational and promotional role today in support of the Churchill Transportation Corridor.

All told, the Association has been lobbying governments and influencing transportation policy on behalf of prairie communities for over ninety years.
