All aboard! CP Holiday Train chugs through the Shuswap

For its 18th consecutive year, the CP Holiday Train has hit the track to help feed the hungry over the holidays. The train started its cross-Canada venture on November 26 in Montreal.

If you’re hoping to see the train in the southern interior, it will be stopping in Sicamous, Canoe and Salmon Arm Wednesday night.

This will mark the first time the holiday train has stopped in Canoe in its 18 years.

Spectators will be entertained by country music star Dallas Smith and alternative pop-rock band, Odds.

Since it began back in 1999, the Holiday Train has collected 3.9-million pounds of food for North American food banks and raised more than $12-million.

All donations raised in the community stay in that community.
