CP Holiday Train brings back in-person tour following two-year break
MEDICINE HAT, AB – The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train makes its return to the rails this season for the first time since the start of the pandemic.
The train takes a route across Canada, collecting food donations, raising awareness and funds for local food banks in the communities along the CP network. In addition to seeing a brightly lit Christmas themed train, community members can hear live music from various performers.
The CP Holiday Train hosted virtual concerts in 2020 and 2021 because of COVID-19, but for the 2022 holiday season, Canadians will be able to see the spectacle in person again. The tour features two trains, with one operating on a Canadian route and the other in the United States.
CP President and Chief Executive Officer, Keith Creel stated in a news release, “I’m grateful to the CP team members who adapted during the COVID-19 pandemic to deliver two exceptional virtual Holiday Train shows and to all those who continued to donate while we kept community members safe.”
