Calgary Alberta - As in years past, two trains will operate coast-to-coast under the Holiday Train banner, with approximately 150 shows held in November and December.
 
The train that operates primarily through the U.S. will launch in the Montreal area on 25 Nov 2016, while the all-Canada train's first shows will come a day later, also in Montreal.
 
The U.S. train will complete its final shows in Saskatchewan on 15 Dec 2016, and the final show of the tour will take place 17 Dec 2016 at Port Coquitlam, B.C.
 
"We are very excited about this year's CP Holiday Train and are encouraging all event attendees to bring healthy, nutritious, food items to the shows," said Pam Jolliffe, Interim Executive Director, Food Banks Canada.
 
"For the last two decades, CP has played an integral role in raising essential food for the holidays and in raising awareness of hunger-related issues."
 
Every pound of food and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help feed those in need in that community.
 
First-time stops this year include Olds, Alberta, and Canoe, B.C.
