The schedule is out for The 2023 Canadian Pacific Kansas City (CPKC - formerly known as Canadian Pacific) Holiday Train, and Cochrane did not make the cut. 

Skipping Cochrane is not unusual for the festive train. Before the pandemic, Cochrane and Mînî Thnî were visited every other year.

Cochranites up for a road trip can still take in the lights as the train will be stopping in Airdrie, Olds, Didsbury, Okotoks and Calgary.

Last year, the CPKC Holiday train raised $19,000 for the Cochrane Food Bank with the event in town. Since the Holiday Train program launched in 1999, it's raised $22.4 million and collected 5.15 million pounds of food.
