CPKC Holiday Train
The 2024 CPKC Holiday Train tours Canada and the United States November 21 through December 20, spreading holiday cheer and raising money, food and awareness for people struggling with food insecurity. Professional musicians play free concerts from the brightly decorated train's stage. CPKC makes a donation to the local food shelf at each stop and encourages attendees to also donate.
On November 23, the roughly 1000-foot CP Holiday Train is rolling into Hamilton with 14 brightly decorated rail cars to the south side of Gage Park, along Lawrence Road at 7:30 pm.
Performances by American Authors & KT Tunstall. Free, family friendly concert event for all ages from 8 pm to 8:40 pm.
Hamilton Food Share will be collecting food and cash donations. Be sure to bring along non-perishable food contributions such as tuna, beans, rice, pasta, cereal and baby food to the event. Since the Holiday Train program launched in 1999, it's raised more than $22.5 million and collected 5 million pounds of food for community food banks across North America.
