Pruning work
The REM operator, Pulsar, periodically coordinates pruning work near its right‑of‑way. These planned and cyclical interventions are essential to prevent accidents and damage to the REM.

What is pruning?
Pruning involves cutting or removing selected branches from a tree to ensure the safety of nearby infrastructure. In the context of the REM, this practice helps prevent branches from falling onto the tracks and facilities, reduces risks associated with strong winds, snow, or ice, and therefore ensures uninterrupted service.
When will the upcoming work take place?
March 2 to April 22, 2026, between Canora Station and Deux‑Montagnes.
Who performs this work?
These interventions are carried out by professional, specialized pruning companies that have the expertise and equipment required to perform the work safely and effectively.
Environnement
Wildlife Protection
To protect local wildlife, pruning work is carried out before the bird nesting period. This planning helps avoid disturbing nests and species that settle in the spring, with particular attention paid to the biodiversity present along the REM corridor.
