The CP Holiday Train is returning to Brandon this weekend as part of the tour across Canada, with stops in Winnipeg, Portage and Carberry as they make their way west!

"We're looking for food donations and we'll have our truck down there and we'll have people packing our trucks," says Barbara McNish, Executive Director of Samaritan House Ministries. 

"This is huge for us because the food collected that evening helps us get through January and February," she explains, "and the CP Holiday Train also gives us cash donations so this just helps us start the new year when things are just a little bit tougher!"

"Come on down and support Samaritan House and enjoy some great entertainment this Sunday evening!" adds McNish.
