Fast Forward 9 years, Colleen is now working for PNR RailWorks Inc. as a Project Coordinator on the USRC (Union Station Rail Corridor) Project in Toronto, ON.

Which includes replacing all signals, track circuits and cables in the USRC as well as installing all new solid state interlockings and control equipment, housed in ten signal bungalows powered by ten power bungalows. Her primary responsibilities include financial control, procurement, material tracking and contract administration. Colleen has devoted much of her spare time to volunteer work, including organizing a slow pitch tournament that raised over $30,000.00 for cancer research at Mount Sinai Hospital in Toronto. Colleen also holds an annual Toy Drive on her Birthday to Honor her twin sister, Heather who passed away from cancer in 2012. She has collected over 2,000 toys in 4 years for Children fighting Cancer at Sick Kids Hospital in Toronto.
