Thirteen communities across the north will get a visit from the festively decorated Ontario Northland Christmas Train in December.
It starts Dec. 1 in Moosonee, travelling south and visiting 11 communities before making its final stop in North Bay on Monday, December 17 at 5 p.m..
The train will visit New Liskeard Dec. 15 at 6:30 and Dec. 16 in Temagami at 6 p.m.
Ontario Northland has added a new fundraising component to all events this year.
Foam light up wands are being sold for $5, with proceeds being donated to community organizations. In North Bay, proceeds from the light up wand sales will support One Kids Place.
