The NB Southern Railway’s Believe in Wishes Train Ride has quickly become a beloved tradition in the community. Families, children, and local businesses eagerly anticipate and support it year after year. Imagine children and parents arriving in their pajamas (if they wish), clutching their golden tickets, and smiles lighting their faces as they step aboard the festive train. The air is filled with laughter and the scent of hot cocoa and cookies. Energetic elves lead the way, encouraging caroling and dance, while children’s eyes light up with joy. And of course, the magical moment when they meet a very special and jolly, red-suited man. It’s an experience guaranteed to create warm and lasting cherished holiday memories, and we can’t wait to share it with our community once more.
As a ticket purchaser to this magical event, you play a pivotal role in supporting two children-serving charities this holiday season:
Make-A- Wish Canada (New Brunswick Chapter) brings the most heartfelt wish of a child living with critical illness to life. The wish experience plays a significant role in the physical, mental, and emotional health of children, contributing to improved medical outcomes and a better chance of recovery.
First Steps Housing Project Inc. provides a safe environment for pregnant and parenting young women and their children to reach their full potential by providing housing, education, and personal development, just to name a few.
