CPCK Holiday Train Thank You 2024

The Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train never disappoints, and this year was no exception! The train rolled into Merrickville at 4:45pm on November 28th, to the approximately 2,500 people waiting in anticipation!

The 2024 stop brought in approximately 1,100 pounds of food and $2,700.00 in monetary donations, gratefully collected thanks to the generosity of all those who attended, and of course, CPKC’s very gracious cheque presentation of $4,000.00.

We respectfully acknowledge the traditional territory of the Anishnaabeg Algonquin and Haudenosaunee Nations, which were never ceded or legally signed away to the Crown or to Canada.I invite all of us to reflect on the territories in which we have the privilege to live, work and play on, and to commit ourselves to gaining knowledge, forging a new, culturally safe relationship, and contributing to reconciliation.We recognize that First Nations, Métis, and Inuit are traditional cultures of knowledge sharing and we understand we have a lot to learn. Learning is the spirit in which we come together.
