From the CPR Promo:
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train hits the rails again on November 25 and will be visiting over 150 communities across our network. Each event features a boxcar stage, a lineup of great musical talent and a contribution to the local food bank. Everyone who attends is encouraged to donate food and money which stays in their community.
Since it’s inception in 1999, we’ve raised more than $7.4 million and over 3 million pounds of food in the U.S. and Canada.
CP asks that attendees bring a non-perishable food or cash donation, and all donations stay with the food shelf in the community where they’re donated. Items like infant formula, canned meats, and spaghetti sauce are in particular demand for the millions of North American’s who turn to food banks each month.
This Year’s Musical Lineup Includes The Claytones and Brothers Dube:
