The new Hudson's building lived up to its promise to honor Hudson's Department Store. Nice job!

The Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC) Holiday Train—formerly the Canadian Pacific Holiday Train—has been spreading cheer and supporting food banks across North America since 1999. Over its 25 years, the festive train has raised more than $26 million and collected over 5.4 million pounds of food for communities in both Canada and the United States. In 2024, the program brought in more than $1.75 million and over 130,000 pounds of food, while the 2023 tour reached a record C$1.8 million and 160,000 pounds of donations. The train, stretching roughly 1,000 feet long, features a stage car for live musical performances and thousands of LED lights adorning its railcars. Each holiday season, it visits up to 190 communities across six Canadian provinces and 13 U.S. states, hosting nearly 200 free shows where attendees are encouraged to donate money or non-perishable food. With 13 new stops planned for 2025, the CPKC Holiday Train continues to be one of North America’s largest and most beloved rolling fundraisers—blending holiday magic, community giving, and small-town connection on the rails.

Now that it's November, you know snow is not too far away. Get your car ready this week. A snow brush and ice scraper, a hat and gloves if you get stuck waiting for a tow, a phone charger, flashlight, jumper cables, snacks, and other things can get you ready for those bad days.
