The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will be coming through Milton next week!
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.
The shows first launched on Wednesday, November 23rd with the Holiday Train’s first-ever Maine shows in Jackman, Brownville Junction and Hermon.
The tour will feature 168 live shows, including Milton. The train will roll through Milton on Tuesday, November 29th. It will arrive at the Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Center West Parking Lot (5234 Kelso Road) at 4:45 p.m., with the show beginning at 5:00 p.m. and finishing by 5:30 p.m. Performing for Milton residents will be Lindsay Ell and JoJo Mason.
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. Because local food shelves 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 $21 million and collected 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
