| The CP Holiday Train
The U.S.-bound train will feature the Trews and Willy Porter arriving at Loretto at 4:15 on December 12, 2018. Performances run 4:30 - 5:00pm. The CP Holiday Train program launched in 1999 and has since raised more than C$14.5 million and gathered 4.3 million pounds of food for communities along CP's routes in Canada and the United States.
The event is free, with CP encouraging attendees to open their cupboards and wallets to help address hunger needs in their communities. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate have enough healthy food this holiday season.
