Holiday Train in Milton (2019)
Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will be coming through Milton this month!
The trains travel across Canada, arriving in communities and briefly playing concerts before continuing down the tracks. The train will also raise money, food and awareness for local food banks in communities along the CP network.
According to the map, the train will arrive in Milton at the Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Center West Parking Lot at 5234 Kelso Road on Thursday, November 20th. The music act will be Smashmouth and JJ Wilde. They will arrive at 5:00 p.m. and leave by 5:30 p.m. Make sure to arrive early and plan for delays. The train will then be in Hamilton later in the evening.
Holiday Train shows are free to attend. CP asks attendees to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation if they’re able. Local food shelves will set up collection stations at each event, with all donations made staying with the local food bank to help people in need in the community. With local food shelters able to buy food at a discount, cash donations can go further than food donations to help those in need.
Since the Holiday Train program launched in 1999, it’s raised more than $26 million and collected over 5.4 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
