Press Release – Community Food Share – CPKC Holiday Train 2024
Finch, ON – One of the earliest signs of the holiday season in Dundas & Stormont Counties is the arrival of the iconic CPKC Holiday Train. Since its first journey in 1999, the brightly decorated train has brought holiday cheer and vital support to local food banks, including Community Food Share. This year’s train tour across Canada and the U.S. will be spreading awareness, raising funds, and collecting food donations to support food banks along its route.
The CPKC Holiday Train will arrive in Finch on Thursday, November 28, at 2:30 p.m., stopping along James Street between William Street and George Street. Attendees are invited to join their friends and neighbors to experience live performances, enjoy holiday decorations, and contribute to a worthy cause.
Free Concert with Tyler Shaw and Shawnee Kish
This year’s Finch stop will feature a free concert by multi-Platinum artist Tyler Shaw and JUNO-nominated Indigenous artist Shawnee Kish. Tyler Shaw is known for hits like “Love You Still” and performances alongside artists like Shawn Mendes and Alessia Cara. Shawnee Kish, a powerful soul singer and 2023 JUNO nominee, has captivated audiences with her music inspired by her journey as a Two Spirit Indigenous artist.
