Welcome to Our New Directors!

On Saturday June 21st, the Foundation’s 2025 AGM was held at the Toronto Railway Historical Association’s Roundhouse Museum on board their preserved former Canadian National Railways caboose.

At the AGM, the membership elected two new directors to the Board of CTHF – Marco D’Angelo, President and CEO of the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA), and Geoff Marinoff, recently retired MiWay Director of Transit.

We are delighted to welcome these two new directors who will help further the important work of the Foundation to preserve, promote and communicate Canada’s public transit heritage.

Marco D’Angelo, a long-time observer of transit history, will provide an important link with CUTA consistent with the Foundation’s recently enhanced CUTA Memorandum of Understanding (MOU). Marco is President and CEO of the Canadian Urban Transit Association (CUTA) and has been instrumental in establishing CUTA as Canada’s leading voice for public transit and urban mobility. Marco has been a strong supporter of CTHF, facilitating the Foundation’s activities and participation at CUTA events including support for our Archives Project. He also has a family history in public transit as his father was an OC Transpo operator.

Geoff Marinoff, a professional engineer, grew up in Toronto riding the TTC from a very young age and entered the Canadian Forces following high school. He served for 20+ years in Canada and overseas in various command, staff and engineering appointments before making the transition to public transit by joining the TTC in 1999. His experience included bus, subway and light rail (SRT) but regrettably no streetcars. Geoff became the director of Mississauga Transit/MiWay in 2007 overseeing a wide range of developments in technology, infrastructure investment and transit system growth. He has long been a supporter of CTHF and has participated in several CTHF events and will be our lead for Communications.
