Since passenger rail service ended in 2012, local entrepreneurs Mel and Adam Peddy have been dedicated to restoring the Cobalt Train Station, transforming former offices, a once upon a time Parlour Room and Baggage Room into stylish studio suites while preserving its historic charm.

​

At the heart of the station’s revival is the main hall, set to become a premier event venue in Northeastern Ontario, Temiskaming District.  We pay enormous praise to the countless trades workers, from pipe fitters, to carpenters, masons, electricians and plumbers, we value their extensive commitment.  With over 15 years of experience in event production, Pamela is spearheading the development of a space that seamlessly blends heritage with modern elegance, offering a unique setting for both intimate gatherings and large-scale celebrations.

​

Positioned as a premium venue, Cobalt Station is designed to attract upscale weddings and corporate events that might otherwise take place outside the region. This ensures minimal competition with existing local venues while generating over $150,000 annually for local businesses, including caterers, bakers, and beverage suppliers—creating new opportunities for economic growth.

​

More than an event space, Cobalt Station is a catalyst for revitalization. By preserving this historic landmark and adapting it for modern use, the project strengthens the local economy, supports nearby businesses in this Historic Town of Canada with the Cobalt Theatre and the Tea Room.
