Calgary – October 13, 2026 -- The 2026 CPKC Holiday Train departs Montreal on Nov. 19 for a 32-day run with live music shows in 182 communities across Canada and the United States, and attendees are asked to bring a cash donation or non-perishable food item for local food banks.

Ten communities get their first Holiday Train visit

The route reaches farther south than ever before. Ten communities in Texas, Louisiana, Mississippi and Missouri will host the train for the first time: Blue Springs (Missouri); Meridian and Jackson (Mississippi); Vicksburg, Monroe, Ruston, DeQuincy, Leesville and Zwolle (Louisiana); and Port Arthur (Texas).

In total, the 182 shows span six provinces and 13 U.S. states.

Twelve acts are on the lineup

Calgary, AB – September 19, 2026 -- Real Mushrooms' Cordyceps 120 Count Capsules, marketed to support energy levels, oxygen utilization and physical performance, have received NSF Certified for Sport status for the small-format bottles sold in the U.S.

Canadian bottles earn a separate certification tier

In Canada, both bottle sizes of the Cordyceps capsules achieved NSF Contents Certified status, a distinct designation from the U.S. Certified for Sport label.

Contents Certified checks label accuracy, Sport adds banned-substance testing

NSF Contents Certified verifies ingredient identity, label accuracy and declared amounts, testing the product against predefined contaminant requirements. NSF Certified for Sport builds on that by adding testing for substances banned by major athletic organizations, along with expanded oversight of ingredients, suppliers and manufacturing processes.
