CP Train Ride 2010

Children's Wish CP Train Ride

Children's Wish CP Train Ride
We invite you to join Canadian Pacific and The Children’s Wish Foundation in celebrating the 125th year anniversary of the Last Spike. As part of the festivities, CP’s iconic 2816 Steam train will embark on a tour this summer, celebrating our shared history with communities throughout Alberta and the BC interior. The Children’s Wish is excited about our partnership with CP and the benefit to our children and families.

CP has generously donated all ticket sales to The Children’s Wish Foundation. These funds will support our mission to assist children and their families facing life threatening illnesses by granting their most heartfelt wish. CP has been supporting The Children’s Wish since 2002 and to date has raised more than $250,000 through their employee bottle recycling program.
