The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train program has concluded another successful year of raising money, food and awareness for local food banks. More than C$1.3 million was raised and 121,000 pounds of food have been collected for local food banks and food shelves so far this year, with final numbers still being calculated.
The CP Holiday Train has now raised more than $22.4 million and collected 5.15 million pounds of food since its inaugural journey back in 1999.
"We are overjoyed with the support we received from people across the CP network who came together to celebrate the season while braving the elements in support of their community and those in need," said CP President and CEO Keith Creel. "We are reminded how important the CP Holiday Train program is for communities and we were thrilled to be back in support of the critical work that local food banks do across Canada and the United States."
