The CPKC Holiday Train will once again roll through Southwestern Ontario.
The train will make its way to Chatham on Saturday, November 22, and stop behind the John D. Bradley Convention Centre on Richmond Street from 1:45 to 2:15 p.m.
Musical guests Smash Mouth and JJ Wilde will perform for attendees, who are encouraged to make a monetary or food donation.
The train will then make its way to Windsor that night from 6 to 6:30 p.m., stopping at Erie Street West & Janette Avenue.
The Holiday Train supports food banks and food shelves by raising money, food, and awareness of food insecurity at all of its stops.
At the 2024 event, 1,500 lbs of food and $553 in cash was donated at the Chatham stop for Outreach for Hunger. The food bank also received a cheque for $4,500 from the Holiday Train.
Since 1999, more than $26-million and over 5.4 million pounds of food for community food banks have been collected in Canada and the U.S.
