November 14, 2007 - Thunder Bay Holiday Trains, decorated with thousands of Christmas lights, runs in partnership with the Canadian Association of Food Banks (CAFB) and U.S. food collection agencies to raise donations and awareness for the issue of hunger. The Holiday Train program allows employees, customers and communities to come together to help people in need.
Each December, Canadian Pacific's Holiday Train travels across Canada and the United States to raise food, money and awareness for local food banks. Illuminated by hundreds of thousands of festive lights, the Holiday Train makes its way across seven states and six provinces visiting over 100 Canadian and U.S. communities.
Food Banks
In Canada, donations are collected for food banks affiliated with the Canadian Association of Food Banks. In the United States, local food pantries and food shelves benefit from this program. Our eight year total -- close to $3 million dollars and 1.6 million pounds of food.
Entertainers
This year's Canadian Holiday Train musicians include one of Canada's most versatile musical exports, Wide Mouth Mason, and Canadian pop sensation Melanie Doane.
The U.S. Holiday Train entertainers include Canadian Country Music Hall of Fame member Tracey Brown, Juno award-winner Colin Linden, and the critically acclaimed family duo Ennis.
