It's a festive occasion that happens for a very worthwhile cause and it's one you won't likely want to miss.
Canadian Pacific's 2013 Holiday Train program is stopping in Bredenbury on December 4 and you are invited to join in the fun!
This is the 15th year for North America's longest-running rolling fundraiser. Since 1999, the CP Holiday Train has become part of a local community's social fabric and an important fundraiser for many food shelves.
In the first 14 years the Holiday Train program has raised close to C$7.4 million and three million pounds of food for North American food banks.
The event is FREE and all food and money raised stays in the community for local distribution.
Complete with top notch entertainment by well known performers Melanie Doane and Doc Walker, the train will stop at 12:45 p.m. at the CP train station, 520 Railway Avenue in Bredenbury. Proceeds are going to the Broadview Food Bank this year.
The Holiday Train program travels across Canada and the United States raising money, food, and awareness for food banks and hunger issues. The Holiday Train reaches more than 150 communities each year for a combined distance of 10,000 kilometres.
For more information on the performers and which train they will be on, or the event itself, visit the Holiday Train website at: www.cpr.ca
Each Holiday Train is about 1,000 feet in length with 14 brightly decorated rail cars, including a modified boxcar that has been turned into a traveling stage.
