Holiday Train on Dec. 18
Ashcroft British Columbia - Now in its tenth year,
Canadian Pacific's brightly decorated Holiday Train will once again collect food and money for local food banks, raise awareness in
the fight against hunger.
Canadian communities can celebrate the season with the Holiday Train and the music of 2008 Canadian Country Music Association (CCMA)

At each event, Canadian Pacific provides the train, music and a corporate contribution to the local food bank. The community, in turn,
encouraged to donate foods or funds, all of which stays in their community.
The train arrives in Ashcroft and Lytton on Thursday, 18 Dec 2008. It will be in the CP yard on Railway Ave. in Ashcroft
