Another event bites the dust because of COVID-19.
The CP Holiday Train has been scraped this year.
Last year, the Holiday Train brought with it a cheque for $4500 for Outreach for Hunger and organizers collected close to 6000 pounds of food.
CP Rail says it will continue to donate to food banks in communities where the train would have stopped, but it won’t be making its usual cross-country trek.
To date the train has raised $17.8 million and collected 4.8 million pounds of food.
CP Rail says they plan to hold a virtual benefit concert in place of this year’s tour.
