Yes, passengers on VIA Rail Canada trains are allowed to bring their own food and non-alcoholic beverages on board. However, there are some restrictions on what types of food and drink are allowed.

Passengers are allowed to bring small snacks and sandwiches, as well as non-alcoholic beverages in sealed containers. Hot drinks, such as coffee or tea, are also allowed if they are in a spill-proof container. It is important to note that the consumption of alcohol brought on board is strictly prohibited.

If you are traveling with larger food items, such as pizzas or full meals, it is recommended to check with VIA Rail Canada beforehand to ensure they are permitted on board and to make any necessary arrangements.

It is also important to be mindful of any strong-smelling foods, as a courtesy to other passengers. Lastly, any food or drink brought on board should be properly disposed of in the train's waste receptacles.
