The annual tradition returns to Sandman Centre on Lorne Street on Sunday, Dec. 16 at 4:30 p.m., with a performance by Sam Roberts Band, Kelly Prescott and Tracey Brown from 5:00 p.m. to 5:30 p.m.
The train will arrive emblazed in Christmas lights and the jolly man in red is sure to make an appearance.
The program launched in 1999 and has raised more than more than C$14.5 million and gathered 4.3 million pounds of food for communities along CP routes in Canada and the United States. "On behalf of the 13,000-strong family here at CP, it is my great pleasure to kick-off the 20th tour of the CP Holiday Train," said Keith Creel, CP's President and Chief Executive Officer. "It is a privilege for CP to be able to run a program like this and connect with so many communities across our network. I want to personally thank each individual who has made a donation over the past 20 years – your collective efforts have made the Holiday Train a huge success for two decades."
