George Huggins – Director of Operations
George started with Toronto Terminals Railway in 1983 and has the distinction of having worked for TTR his entire career. He began working inside Toronto’s Union Station in the facilities management department and took every opportunity offered to advance himself. From there George moved to the track department, and eventually shifted into the operations department to work as a Train Movement Director (TMD). As a member of the operations team, he worked hard to ensure the Company’s on time performance (OTP) metric, was maintained at a steady 99% rating over the years.
George has gained extensive management experience since that time where he worked as one of the key members of the team leading numerous construction projects designed to bring Union Station up to standards. His demonstrated successes include bringing closer together the three main departments of Toronto Terminals Railway (Track, Signals and Operations) in a unified effort while maintaining the Company’s targeted OTP.
George’s education includes an Electronic Engineering certificate from Devry Institute of Technology and more recently a Leadership Essentials course at the University of Toronto.
George loves spending time with family and friend as well as hockey, golf and lacrosse; most of all he loves camping in the great Canadian outdoors.
