CP Holiday Train returning to light up Saskatoon
December 04, 2017
The CP Holiday Train is expected to roll into Saskatoon and spread some holiday cheer on Monday.
The well-lit locomotive is scheduled to arrive at 8:35 p.m. CT and stop on the CP Railway overpass at 7th Avenue North and 33rd Street East.
​
People can gather for live performances by musical artists Colin James and Emma-Lee, who will take the stage at about 8:50 p.m.
“The holiday season is such a magical time in our city and this event adds to the festivities and helps encourage community spirit,” Saskatoon Food Bankexecutive director Laurie O’Connor said in a press release.
“We suggest arriving early. Two years ago, when the CP Holiday Train rolled through this location, we think there must have been over 10,000 people — just a fantastic turnout!”
​
O’Connor said the CP Holiday Train has provided a much-needed boost to Canadian food banks.
The public is invited to bring food and cash donations to the event.
Wilkie and Macklin, Sask., are the next stops for the CP Holiday Train on Tuesday.

Toronto Maple Leafs could become NHL’s top team
May 28, 2023
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to become the NHL's No. 1 team on Saturday night.
​
The Toronto Maple Leafs have a chance to become the best team in the NHL with a victory on Saturday night.
The Leafs play the Canucks at Rogers Arena in Vancouver at 7 p.m. ET.
Toronto is currently second place in the NHL’s Eastern Conference with 35 points behind the first place Tampa Lightning, who have 36 points.
The Maple Leafs would need to win, while the Tampa Lightning, St. Louis Blues and Columbus Blue Jackets would all have to lose on Saturday, in order for Toronto to capture the league’s top spot with 37 points.
​
It was back in 1993, the last time the Maple Leafs were first overall in the NHL, as they started the season 10-0, but had that streak snapped by their greatest rival, the Montreal Canadiens. The streak set an NHL record, which they share with the 2006 – 2007 Buffalo Sabres.
