Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will be coming through Milton next 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 schedule, the US train will arrive in Milton at the Glen Eden Ski & Snowboard Center West Parking Lot at 5234 Kelso Road on Wednesday, November 22nd. The music act will be Seaforth and Keisza. They will arrive at 4:45 p.m. and leave by 5:30 p.m. 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 $22.5 million and collected over five million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
The train tracker can be found here, which will become active in the coming weeks.
