The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train is early this year.

Rolling into Toronto and the GTA tomorrow, Tuesday December 1, 2009 before separating, one train heading south through the United States and the other train heading north through Canada.

The train will stop in Toronto at 87 Ethel Avenue at 6:30 PM and Vaughan at the Nashville sideroad near the grain elevators at 9:00 PM.

Entertainers on the Canadian train include the Odds, an alternative rock band, bringing their energy and full voiced harmonies to the Holiday Train stage for the first time. They will be joined by Shaun Verrault of the Canadian blues-rock trio Wide Mouth Mason. Les Ensemble Tournevis will also be joining the Canadian train on November 28 & 29.

Entertainers on the U.S. train include Prescott and Adam Puddington, along with special guests Shaun Verreault and Willy Porter.

In its 11th year that the CP Holiday Train has been raising food, money and awareness for food banks in communities across Canada and the U.S. To date, Canadian Pacific has helped raise $4 million and 2 million pounds of food.

It is a great way to get into the spirit of the season.

If you are hosting a party, wedding reception or any private function either at a rented venue or in you own home you should contact you insurance agent. You might want to consider purchasing event liability insurance. As party rental suppliers we are often asked about our liability insurance with the expectation that we will cover costs. Too many issues these days require special consideration. Property damage, personal injuries and alcohol related incidents are top concerns. A auto accident involving an intoxicated guest or if a guest trips and falls on your front step are items that can be addressed by this type of policy. This kind of policy is designed for these special needs.

Many banquet halls, event venues and some tent rental companies insist that the event host carries such protection. A policy designed for your event will cover items not covered by your homeowners policy and any claim will not effect your existing insurance.

Call your insurance agent to find out more before your next event.
