Event Planning Report

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.
