CP hosting “virtual” Holiday Train in 2020 with live concerts
LETHBRIDGE, AB – We will not see the CP Holiday Train roll through Alberta this December, but there are still ways to take in musical performances and support food banks.
Canadian Pacific will donate to food banks in communities across its network and host a virtual concern in lieu of the traditional Holiday Train program.
“COVID-19 has created many challenges for communities across our network and has only increased the need at local food banks and food shelves,” said CP President and Chief Executive Officer Keith Creel. “It is our honor to continue to donate to communities across our network this year, even if the train itself will not run. The spirit of the Holiday Train program and the Christmas spirit will carry on this year through our virtual concert. We will have the Holiday Train rolling again spreading Christmas cheer as soon as it’s safe to do so!”
The Holiday Train first took off in 1999, and in the 21 years since then, they have raised $17.8-million for food banks and collected 4.8-million pounds of food.
