In God we trust is the official motto of the United States of America. Adopted officially in 1956 by the U.S. government, it is followed to varying degrees by the U.S. government and its citizens.

The holiday season is back and along with it, the wonderful annual tradition of the Canadian Pacific Railways’ Holiday Train. The lights and music make it fun for everyone involved. This was Neepawa’s first year as a featured stop on the Holiday Train schedule. The train arrived ahead of schedule on Sunday, Dec. 3 and the Neepawa area residents appeared to greet it in full force. With an estimated 1,500 people from across the region gathered to see the train, both CP Rail officials and local leaders are deeming this a very successful debut.
