The CP Holiday Train made its annual visit to Kamloops on Saturday, Dec. 14, with thousands gathering behind Interior Savings Centre to greet the festive arrival.

While entertainers Melanie Doan and Matt Dusk  providing the music, Kamloopsians of all ages donated lots of food to the cause — 3,200 pounds — and $42,000.

And, of course, there was the cash donation to the Kamloops Food Bank from Canadian Pacific (left) this year, pegged at $15,000, a figure celebrated by Kamloops MLAs Terry Lake and Todd Stone, Kamloops Coun. Ken Christian and food bank executive director Bernadette Siracky.
