CP Holiday Train to deliver virtual concert

11/23/2020

The  Mohawk Council of Kahnawà:ke wishes to announce that the CP “Holiday Train at Home” virtual concert will be held on Saturday, December 12th at 8pm.

Headlining the concert will be Serena Ryder and The Trews, with featured performances by JoJo Mason, Six Nations’ own Logan Staats, and Kelly Prescott. The show will last for approximately 1 hour and 15min. 

The Train’s annual stop not only provides a shot of Christmas Spirit for Kahnawa’kehró:non and their neighbors but has been an important boost for the Kateri Food Basket, which has been able to collect non-perishable food items and cash donations on-site.

Due to the pandemic, the Holiday Train will not be running this year, but CP will still donate to food banks that normally host the popular Train. In Kahnawà:ke, the Kateri Food Basket has hosted the Train since 2005.

The show will be streaming via the CP Facebook page facebook.com/canadian.pacific or @CanadianPacific and will remain there for future viewing until the end of the year.

Discussions are taking place in the hopes of organizing a Kahnawà:ke event to assist the Food Bank while the concert is underway. Details will be forthcoming should these efforts come to fruition.
