This event is free, with CP encouraging attendees to open their cupboards and wallets to help address hunger needs in their communities. Local food banks will be accepting donations at each stop to ensure those less fortunate have enough healthy food this holiday season.
“It is a privilege for CP to be able to run a program like this and connect with so many communities across our network. I want to personally thank each individual who has made a donation over the past 20 years – your collective efforts have made the Holiday Train a huge success for two decades.” – Keith Creel, CP’s President and Chief Executive Officer

“We are looking forward to riding on the CP Holiday Train, spreading some holiday cheer, and hoping those who come to the show bring food or cash donations for their local food bank!”
JOJO MASON
JoJo’s music is about having fun, appreciating life and sharing stories. It is passionately country, but with no fear of a deep groove, fresh lyric or original melody. He will charm you with his personality, wow you with his beat boxing, earn your respect with his work ethic, inspire you with his character and compassion, elicit a smile with his message but most importantly, JoJo will sweep you off your feet with his voice. From a moonshine slinging, shower singing prairie boy to Canada’s next country music sensation.
“I can honestly say I’ve never been on a train before!! I couldn’t think of a better way to spend my Christmas holidays than spreading the gift of music in as many places as we can aboard the CP Holiday Train! BEST CHRISTMAS HOLIDAY EVER!”
