CP Holiday Train bringing 20th tour to Saskatchewan stops

The 2018 Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will soon roll through Saskatchewan again, supporting food banks for the 20th year in a row.

Back in November, two trains started in Montreal, travelling through both the U.S. and Canada to bring holiday cheer to 164 communities along CP’s network.

The westbound locomotive will also stop in Broadview, Indian Head, Qu’appelle, Regina, Moose Jaw, and Swift Current before finishing the Saskatchewan leg of its tour in Maple Creek on Dec. 7.
