The Town of Neepawa has been selected to be a tour stop for the 2017 CP Rail Holiday Train.
Recently, administration for the town office contacted Canadian Pacific, requesting consideration as a route stop during the annual trans-Canada tour. C.P. has contacted town officials and informed them that Neepawa will be added to the northern tour route starting in 2017.
The C.P. Holiday Train has been operating for 17 years. The train is outfitted in bright lights and travels through about 150 communities in Canada and the United States. It also raises funds and donations for food banks throughout North America. In previous years, the Holiday Train has made stops in other nearby communities, including Minnedosa and Portage la Prairie.
