The Canadian Pacific (CP) Holiday Train will soon set out once again to entertain hundreds of thousands of people, celebrating 21 years of collecting food and raising funds for food banks across North America.

The CP Holiday Train program launched in 1999 and has since raised more than C$15.8 million and gathered 4.5 million pounds of food for communities along CP's routes in Canada and the United States. Every pound and dollar raised at each stop stays with the local food bank to help feed those in need in that community.

Wild Honey is a female trio of singer-songwriters from the East Kootenays playing roots music with a sound all their own. Their debut album, Distant Skies, is a compilation of songs from their seven years together. The gentle and heartfelt lyrics echo their lives, loves, and a deep passion for this wild place they call home. More info on the band is available on their website.

Come for the tunes and stay for the great cause!
