The CP Holiday Train wraps up its 2014 tour in Weyburn The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train made its last stop of 2014 in Weyburn on Wednesday, December 17. The Holiday Trains make stops in communities across their service area, offering free concerts and seasonal festivities from a boxcar that they have turned into a travelling stage. The annual event sees CP Rail and the Salvation Army partnering together to raise food and cash donations for food banks across North America. To date, the train that travels through Canada, and the other one which travels through the United States, have covered over 100,000miles, raised close to $9.5 million and 3.3 million pounds of food
since the program first began in 1999. The CP Rail Holiday Train wrapped up its tour right here in Weyburn, which marked one of 150 free concerts the entertainers provided over the three week process. The Salvation Army was on site, providing free hot chocolate and collecting cash and food donations. Once the train arrived, the crowd was treated to a performance from country music artist, Kira Isabella. The evening continued on with a presentation from CP Rail. A cheque for $5,500 was donated to the local Weyburn Salvation Army. The official results of the "Food Fight" con-
test between Barber Motors and the City of Weyburn were announced. Barber Motors came out on top with a collection of 638 pounds of food, compared to the 572 pounds of food collected by the City of Weyburn. Cash donations Continued on page 2
Annual JAMS dinner set for December 25
The Canadian Pacific Holiday Train rolled into Weyburn December 17 for its annual visit.
Over the past 11 years, Sandy Johnson and her three daughters have been spreading their Christmas cheer to residents of the community without anyone to spend the holidays with. "We have donated over $10,000 back into the community," said Johnson. In 2003, Johnson's husband passed away, and she and her daughters, Jen, Ali and Mikki wanted to make a different memory for their own family. Spending it cooking Christmas dinner for others is how JAMS Family Christmas Day Dinner idea came about. "It is not just us, but numerous volunteers over the years who have also given up their Christmas Day to serve others," added Johnson. The dinner takes place Thursday, December 25 at Knox Hall beginning at 1:00 p.m. Anyone wanting to come, can register until that day, however, they will accept walk-ins. To register for the dinner, volunteer to help or to donate, call 306-842-3316. "We will deliver to shut-ins as well as provide pick up for people who may need it," said Johnson. A $10 donation is suggested, which will go to the Knox Hall general fund.
