CP Holiday Train Ready to Rock Rails for Good Cause
OREANDA-NEWS. The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train program is ready to go for its 17th year, bringing with it food, cash donations and awareness to local food banks and food shelves across North America.
The two brightly lit trains - a U.S. train and a Canadian train - kick off their tours in the Montreal area on November 27 and 28 on their way to visit approximately 150 communities. The Canadian Train travels west across Canada finishing its journey in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia. The US Train visits communities in Quebec, New York, and Southern Ontario prior to travelling across the U.S. Northeast and Midwest, returning to Canada for its final shows in Saskatchewan and Alberta.
Each Holiday Train event features performances by professional musicians that include holiday-themed songs. There's no charge to attend a Holiday Train show, but patrons are asked to bring a cash or non-perishable food donation. All money and food raised in a community stays there to help those in need locally. Again this year, legendary Canadian singer-songwriter Jim Cuddy will be on the Canadian train, this time joining his son, Devin.
Also on the train is Montreal/Winnipeg band Chic Gamine who will play all the shows in Quebec, offering Francophone performances. Holiday Train veteran and award-winning country singer Kelly Prescott with Devin Cuddy and CP's famed Holiday Train band will then take the stage for the rest of the Canadian Train's tour before Jim Cuddy joins for the final leg.
The U.S. Train will showcase one of Canada's brightest country music stars in Kira Isabella, who was recently named by CBC as one of Canada's top 25 artists under 25. Isabella, who won the 2013 Canadian Country Music Association "Female Artist of the Year", will rock the stage with chart topping jack-of-all-trades Wes Mack, until the Doc Walker country legends come aboard in Chicago.
