WHITE RIVER, ON – Thursday, December 2nd, the CP Rail Holiday Train made stopped in White River where residents had been patiently waiting, enjoying free hot dogs and hot chocolate at the Legion and even having an opportunity to speak with Santa!
The Holiday Train began it’s 2010 rounds in November and will, by the time it’s done, have stopped in 140 communities helping many Food Banks along the way.
The Holiday Train Program began in 1999 with a handful of communities and a few lights on a freight train. Today, with its hundreds of thousands of festive lights and a live show featuring well known performers, it’s one of Canadian Pacific’s main ambassadors in working with communities in Canada and the United States and is the only fundraiser of its kind for food banks in North America. Since the program’s inception, more than 4.8 million in cash and over 2.3 million pounds of food has been collected in Canada and the United States.
Thanks to CDO Deborah Duplassie for sharing her photos from the special evening!
